[Webinar Recording] Medicare Audits Decoded: Strategy and Protection for SNF Claims and Compliance
Medicare audits are evolving — and so are the contractors behind them.
Skilled Nursing Facilities are now facing reviews from multiple entities, each with its own focus, process, and documentation demands.
From RACs to UPICs, SMRCS, MACS, and the OIG, knowing who's behind each audit is essential to protecting your organization's compliance, documentation accuracy, and reimbursement.
In this expert-led session, you'll learn how the audit system really works, plus how to strengthen your SNF's documentation readiness and compliance strategy. We'll decode the complex web of Medicare contractors, explain the latest audit trends, and share practical strategies to help you respond confidently and prevent costly denials.
If you're responsible for documentation accuracy, MDS integrity, or Medicare reimbursement, this is a session you can't afford to miss.
