Description: Do you have a coding and education compliance program at your facility? Have you wanted to build a coding compliance program but didn’t know where to start?  In this webinar, we will discuss in depth the benefits of a compliance program and the seven steps outlined in the OIG Compliance Program Guidance for Hospitals.  In addition, we will give an overview of the elements of a local hospital coding compliance program.  Included in the overview will be the functions of each member of the compliance team, the reviews performed on a daily, quarterly, and bi-annual basis, and the method of communication to the coders for both inpatient and outpatient audits.  The training and education portion of the Compliance team is also discussed in regard to basic training outlines for both inpatient and same-day surgery coders, along with the ongoing quarterly education for all coders.  Upon completion of this webinar, you will have everything you need in your toolbox to implement an effective coding compliance and education program.
