The recent $37 million settlement against Cigna regarding enhancing risk adjustment factor (RAF) scores —along with related litigation by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)— highlight the aggressiveness of the federal government to crack down on entities for non-compliant billing practices.
During the next live edition of Monitor Mondays, Dr. James Kennedy will unpack the challenges entities have with this hot billing compliance issue. Dr. Kennedy will also recommend an approach that attempts to clarify what facilities and physicians can do to mitigate their risks.
