Today’s anesthesia providers face an ever more dizzying array of medical policies, guidelines and standards. JACHO, OSHA, OIG, HIPPA Medicare, and private payers are just some of the organizations that require percent compliance. Compliance is a vital component to your practice’s health—protecting its reputation and avoiding possible civil and criminal penalties. Yet, even with the best of intentions, it’s easy for infractions to slip through the cracks.
If you’re less than certain that all of your staff is compliant all of the time Rapid Sequence Anesthesia Solutions can help. Our compliance specialists will conduct a comprehensive of your policis and procedures (coding, time starts/stops/rounding, ethics, and drug accountability to name just a few), identify any problems, and design a plan of corrective action. They can also educate your staff on current and upcoming compliance issues. A strong compliance program helps protect the future of your practice, and—should infractions be discovered—it strengthens your position to demonstrate good intentions during a formal audit.
There are also two other big steps you can take to help insure compliance. Different payers have different requirements. One of several important benefits, outsource your billing and collections services to Rapid Sequence Anesthesia Solutions and you’ll be assured of compliant submissions and coding. Also, our state-of-the-art Anesthesia Electronic Medical Records system generates a much more reliable audit trail to protect your practice.
