Richelle Marting will be presenting... Medicare Reimbursement Appeal Procedures at KBA 2017 Health Law CLE Medicare contractors have been denying providers’ claims for reimbursement at alarming rates, and initiating retroactive audits of payments. Where providers are facing increasing scrutiny into the accuracy of their claims, healthcare attorneys may also see a rise in requests to represent providers during the appeal process. Appeals of these audits and denials create unique challenges in applying substantive and procedural rules under Medicare’s administrative regulations and guidelines. This session will describe the Medicare appeals process with practical insight into obstacles often encountered at various levels of appeal.
