Regulatory liability errors and omissions
Protection for regulatory actions
Healthcare organizations, from non-profit hospitals and private physician groups to long-term care facilities, face more risk than ever before as their billing practices come under increased scrutiny.
Federal and state governments are dedicating significant resources to recover monies paid under Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement programs while commercial payors are also auditing healthcare providers for improper billing practices. Even if claims are unfounded, responding to and resolving regulatory actions can be costly and time consuming.
