Product Description:
AUDIO CONFERENCE ON CD OR ON-DEMAND
Sponsored by Revenue Cycle Institute
Presented on Tuesday, April 19, 2011
RACs aren't the only government auditor you need to worry about. Learn how taking a revenue integrity approach is an essential step in analyzing revenue at risk and making the proper adjustments before a government audit.
During this 90-minue audio conference, our speakers will explain how to work across departments and build a strong revenue integrity team. You'll learn how to identify who should be on the team and their roles, and develop a structured program to manage audits.
As you work thorough the process, you'll improve documentation, stay on top of changing government regulations, and have a solid plan to manage audits.
Note: Participants should have a general familiarity with RAC and other audit initiatives and their direct impact on revenue integrity.
