The federal government's increasing interest in fraud, waste and abuse heightens the awareness of physician practices, both large and small, of the increasing scrutiny of physician documentation to support billings. In the past, audits are performed and physicians were lectured but all too often little improvement was noted. How can practices efficiently and effectively audit physician services and truly effect change? This educational teleconference discusses having an effective audit process in place focusing on determining your high risk areas and modifying physician behavior.
