RISKY BUSINESS?
BY RONI PIDCOCK
I
t seems that in 2017 our industry
saw audits on billing for items
provided to Medicare patients
continue to flourish. Providing
shoes and orthoses to these
beneficiaries seems to have become
quite a risky move that can not only
lead to a claim being denied but
can also result in reviews or audits
from any one of CMS' contractors.
The wise pedorthist prepares
for these audits and so will have
a much easier time navigating
through them successfully.
