Provider Based Status - What's in Your Compliance Toolkit?

This webinar will explain how to set up and sustain a provider based clinic or location in compliance with the CMS requirements to avoid potential fines and penalties. It will provide an overview of applicable standards for on-campus and off-campus locations.

Why Should You Attend:

The provider based rules can be overwhelming for healthcare management who are making efforts to institute or maintain provider based clinics or locations. The Office of Inspector General (OIG) is concerned with the billing process for services in hospital provider based clinics or locations. The provider based rules affect an organization financially and operationally.

An organization’s plans for monitoring and oversight of the provider based locations as evidence of compliance with CMS requirements are often too complex and confusing. The clinical services of an organization delivered in multiple provider-based departments, locations, and facilities have become increasing more cumbersome to operate. There are specific standards that are applicable for on-campus and off-campus locations operating as provider based site. Healthcare professionals should be familiar with how to set up and sustain a provider based clinic or location as an effort to avoid potential fines and penalties due to non-compliance with the regulations.

Attend this 90-minute webinar to learn how to implement a compliance program and process with clear criteria for provider-based status.
