Do You Really Have to Pay That Back? Tips on When, and How, To Refund
David M. Glaser, Shareholder with the Fredrikson & Byron Law Firm
Don't just surrender when payers demand refunds. Sometimes errors necessitate a refund – but often they don’t. For example, in most situations missing documentation does not automatically result in a Medicare overpayment. LCDs are not legally binding. And NCDs are binding but often don’t require a refund the way people think. There are issues with timing, refund letters, and more that can help you keep money you thought you had to give back. This session will clarify how medical practices can approach payer refunds and defend against overpayments they may be able to avoid.
2:50 p.m. – 3:15 p.m.
