Minimize the risk of fraudulent and abusive billing in your day-to-day practice
Common billing errors that violate federal fraud and abuse laws can have devastating consequences for a physician practice, including significant fines, criminal penalties and permanent exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid and other federal government health care programs. It is in a physician's best interest to take necessary steps to avoid fraud and abuse liability, however, this has proven an arduous and time-consuming task.

To help physician practices more easily understand these laws and implement best practices to ensure compliance, the American Medical Association and the American Health Lawyers Association have collaborated to publish Avoiding Fraud and Abuse in the Medical Office.

Key Features:
· Suggestions on how to minimize risk
· Real-life examples that highlight where compliance efforts should focus and common pitfalls
· Legal definitions supported by user-friendly explanations, applications and examples
· The various requirements of each federal law
· Practical guidance in the event a fraud and abuse violation does occur

Ensuring compliance with federal fraud and abuse laws doesn't have to be another demanding administrative task. Avoiding Fraud and Abuse in the Medical Office provides you with the tools and tips you need to confidently conduct business, while leaving you more time to focus on the most important aspect of your practice—the patient.
