  • Gain insights into addressing compliance concerns, noncompliance issues, and missed revenue opportunities.
  • Identify potential RAC and OIG targets and be aware of clinical laboratory services that may be at heightened risk for scrutiny and audit.
  • Resolve documentation weaknesses that could lead to payment denials, focusing on the critical distinction between "medical necessity" and "medically indicated."
