Re: Regulatory Alert: Publication of the OIG Compliance Guidelines for HHA and Hospitals

[Guest guest]

Just an FYI. My facility is being audited by our HCFA intermediary next

week for dates in 1996 and 1997. When asked WHY... they said, " we have been

given extra finds for audits and your facility was chosen because it is in a

metropolitan area and files a very large number of claims. " No other reason

necessary!!!

Wish us luck.
