Collateral Consequences of Medicare Audits

Healthcare attorney Andrew Wachler is an audit warrior, with war stories that will make you cringe in absolute disbelief.

And during the next live edition of Monitor Mondays, Wachler will tell some of these stories, sharing lessons to learn from his experience defending provider clients. He’ll report how failure to appeal a target, probe and educate (TPE) audit could establish a “pattern or practice of submitting claims fail to meet Medicare requirements” for the purpose of revocation of Medicare billing privileges.

Wachler will also share challenges related to lifting a Medicare payment suspension implemented across multiple Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) jurisdictions.
