Despite numerous CMS webinars, hospital staff still grapple with tracking and understanding Medicare notices, a problem that is compounded by a high turnover in patient financial services. Our webcast offers an essential refresher so you can overcome confusion in notice distribution and compliance ambiguity. Join Tiffany Ferguson, LMSW, CMAC, ACM, to gain a comprehensive understanding of required notices, which notices are regulatory vs. billing compliance notices, and learn to establish foolproof workflows, audit trails and protecting compliance.

Why This Is Relevant:

Frequently, notices are delivered inconsistently, leading to missed opportunities for vital patient conversations. In addition, most patients often do not read the documents they are asked to sign during their hospital stay, however, if they question a coverage decision or discharge, the applicable notices can be scrutinized, exposing your hospital to potential fines and recoupment. This webcast provides a foundation for a well-coordinated notice compliance process to start 2024 on the right path.
