Overview

Physician Groups continue to come under increased scrutiny from the federal government relative to their ongoing compliance requirements. As such, we have developed a program of implementation and administration of corporate compliance programs designed specifically for physician practices.

Each engagement is conducted with the following basic tenets:

• The assessment of current billing and coding operations;
   
• The assessment of practice-wide compliance issues;
   
• The design of a Corporate Compliance Plan;
   
• The implementation of the Corporate Compliance Program.

Through a limited and focused on-site risk assessment, personnel interviews and document reviews, our goal is to develop a compliance program that is customized to the extent that it reflects an appropriate focus for each practice, based on the findings.

We also assist in the adaptation or formation of new and existing policies and procedures that support the compliance program design. And we assist in specific training and education of involved personnel in matters relative to compliance.

Once we have helped an organization establish its voluntary Corporate Compliance Program, we also provide ongoing support on a retention basis. If problems arise over the course of a year, we assist in their resolution and in addressing any external inquiries or investigations that may be initiated by the federal government or other external parties. As with all of our services, we protect all exchanged client information with the strictest of confidence.
