Differences Between Medicare, Medicaid and Third-Party Payers

 

Who am I receiving an audit request from?

From the Office of the Inspector General to Medicare Administrative Contractors and recovery auditors, there are several different government agencies that you may receive Medicare and Medicaid audit requests from. You may also get audit requests from commercial payers, including Medicare Advantage Plans, which tend to focus on specific issues. This video reviews the difference between government and commercial payer audits; as well as discusses common causes of improper payments.
