Practice Management Solutions

The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) developed laws and penalties for not following their regulations and the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) has annual work plans for who and what they are going to investigate. It has become of paramount importance that a practice :

	-	Follow the seven elements of a compliance program to save money as well as increase revenue.
	-	Have reviews of the practice done on a regular basis by CPCs in order to help guarantee proper coding and documentation and therefore reimbursement.
	-	Have reviews of the practice processes by an outside source qualified to aid in efficiencies in work flow.
	-	Have reviews done by qualified IT Professionals who are able to do a review of the practice's technology to ensure security as well as help to maintain security so that the practice’s infrastructure is HIPAA compliant.
	-	In the HIPAA audits that NCEB does for clients, we make sure that the seven elements of an effective compliance plan are followed. Realizing that the government has stated that compliance is scalable to a practice's size, NCEB is able to help all sizes of practices to follow the regulations appropriately.
