Increased oversight and post-payment medical review audits (ADRs) continue from CMS.
Key areas with the greatest
denials center around certifications of terminal illness (CTIs), physician narratives,
and face-to-face documentation. If your agency has recently gone through any
Medicare recoupment of dollars related to denial centered around a CTI,
physician narrative, or face-to-face, this is a must-attend webinar for your
team.
