With increased scrutiny from the federal Office of Inspector General (OIG), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and state and federal auditors, hospice providers must proactively address the most common risk areas and develop robust compliance programs to defend against a hospice audit.  This webinar will address the current audit landscape and focus on MICs and ZPICs, two of the most common audits.  If your hospice receives an audit, do you have a plan and are you prepared to respond?  What if auditors unexpectedly arrive onsite?  This session will provide examples of how other hospices have fared when challenged by audits and offer strategies and resources to help if your hospice is audited.
