District 2 Updates

Historically, doctors have submitted claims to Medicare and received payment. However, just because they got paid does not mean that claims were coded properly, nor does it prove that the care was “medically necessary.” Incorrect coding and lack of documented medical necessity are the basis for post-payment audits. Some audits are followed by a demand for repayment. You shouldn’t fear an audit. You should be informed about how to avoid one.
