In recent years, the issue of compliance has become an all-too-familiar one for the modern medical practice. The reality is that careless documentation of your patient visits can leave you and your providers at substantial risk. At best, you will receive a monetary penalty and be placed under close scrutiny for several years. At worst, your physicians may actually face prison time. It goes without saying that maintaining compliance in your everyday coding practice is vital to your organization’s survival.
As a recognized authority in coding compliance for emergency medicine, MMR is your strategic partner in risk management. Our rigorous compliance program, developed under the guidance of our president and CEO, Caral Edelberg, CPC, CCS-P, CHC, a certified compliance professional, has set a standard of excellence in the industry. At MMR, we’re committed to helping you strike that critical balance between operating within the law and charging appropriately for your health care services.
MMR’s Compliance Services include:
- Development of regulatory compliance programs: By creating a company culture committed to legal and ethical conduct, a compliance program serves as a powerful risk management tool. Using Office of the Inspector General (OIG) guidance as a framework, MMR helps you develop a comprehensive program that is tailored to meet the size and unique needs of your practice. Should you already have a compliance program in place, MMR will review your plan, recommend enhancements and work with you to draft an updated version.
- Risk assessment: Liability due to over-coding can compound over time, placing your emergency medicine practice in serious debt to government-funded programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and CHAMPUS. Through an examination of your current coding practices, MMR helps you determine just how vulnerable your organization is to allegations of misconduct.
- Evaluating and monitoring current coding programs: Through routine coding audits, we assess your existing ED coding practices to identify and remediate issues that may be placing your organization and its providers at risk.
Let us help you stop problems arising from poor compliances practices-before they start. To learn more about our Compliance Services, contact MMR today at 1-800-226-4889 or by using our secure online form.
