Medicaid Scrutiny: A Provider's Guide for Surviving Audits and Reviews (webinar)
If you couldn't make it to the seminar, or even if you want to hear it all again and have another chance to ask "The Expert", ANCOR is excited to bring you a series of webinars featuring Barb Edwards and her Medicaid audit expertise. Ms. Edwards, principal in Health Management Associates, former interim director of the National Association of State Medicaid Directors, and former Ohio State Medicaid Director presented a series of two webinars on November 16 and 23, 2009.
Driven in part by Congressional pressure to combat fraud, waste and abuse, there is a growing attention being paid to program integrity within the Medicaid program. Many state and federal players have authority to conduct provider audits or other reviews under Medicaid, and audits have increased.
Session 1: Medicaid Program Integrity and YOU (November 16, 2009)
Ms. Edwards will take you through the history of Medicaid’s focus on program integrity and the federal structure of Medicaid. She will also cover the KEY Medicaid integrity programs, including PERM (Payment Error Rate Measurement) and HHS Office of Inspector General audits including their purpose, audit protocols, how CMS uses these audits, and MUCH more! You will also hear from directly from ANCOR providers about their experiences. Of course, time will be allowed for “Q and A” with Barb and the provider-presenter.
Session 2: Providers and Medicaid Oversight: Getting Ready (November 23, 2009)
Ms. Edwards will give a more detailed look at three federal oversight programs: waiver reviews, the Medicaid Integrity Program, and the False Claims Act. She will also focus on provider readiness for these audits. Again, hear from an ANCOR provider about their first-hand experiences and take advantage of the “Q and A” session following the presentation.
