The Chiropractic Office Compliance Pro is designed to help you develop a truly custom compliance program for your chiropractic practice!
As a chiropractic health care provider, you can no longer rely on staff alone to
safeguard your practice from audits and investigations.
Take Control
You are a hard working doctor with a lot of responsibility to your
patients’ wellbeing, your family’s financial future, staff member
payrolls, and to the third parties that provide a significant
portion of your practice’s income. What you may not know is that
your practice could be at risk without an organized, comprehensive
compliance training program. Now is the time to take control and
protect your practice.
Develop a Culture of
Compliance with an Effective Compliance Training Program
It’s no secret that Medicare/Medicaid and others are serious
about fraud, abuse, and overpayments. Health care providers must
immediately take steps to ensure that their practices fully comply
with statutory and regulatory requirements of all third-party
payor's with an effective office compliance training program.
Is Your Compliance Program
Working?
If your practice was audited by a third
party, do you feel comfortable that you can show documentation that
your office is in compliance with federal and state healthcare laws?
Are you sure you’re compliant with the rules and guidelines of the
managed care “Provider Contracts” that you have signed?
Each day that passes without an effective compliance plan in place increases the possibility that your current practices may be unknowingly subjecting you and your practice to staggering fines, penalties or even criminal liability.
What's the Solution?
Now the good news!
The Chiropractic Office Compliance Pro
is the solution to developing and maintaining an effective office
compliance program for your chiropractic practice.
With the
Chiropractic Office Compliance Pro you will have an
outstanding set of compliance training and organizational tools at
your fingertips to help you create a truly custom federal and
state compliance program to safeguard your hard earned practice.
Personnel Training and
Organizational Tools
The Chiropractic Office Compliance Pro provides a full suite of tools that include forms and templates
with suggested text for standard chiropractic policies, procedures and health
record documentation policies, reference to federal and state laws and
other important compliance information (HIPAA included), an electronic
"Bulletin Board" for efficient office communications, information on
tracking "contract" rules for managed care from common providers, forms
for organizing and communicating your action plan, a unique compliance
documentation (record keeping) system, and more.
The HHS Office of Inspector General or OIG - the Medicare (CMS) "police" - has developed a Compliance Program Guidance for Individual and Small Group Physician Practices to help you cultivate a culture of compliance within your practice and stay compliant with federal healthcare laws.
The following 7 elements is an overview of a few key points recommended by the OIG for Individual and Small Group Physician Practices*, that treat Medicare/Medicaid beneficiaries, and how the Office Compliance Pro can assist you in the creation of a custom compliance program for your office.
Seven Steps to an Effective Compliance Program:
Establish compliance standards through the development of a code of conduct and written policies and procedures.
The physician/board must designate and empower an individual or team responsible for compliance within the healthcare facility. Assign compliance monitoring efforts to a designated compliance officer or compliance team.
Develop a compliance program with benchmarks and measurable goals.
Develop a system to conduct comprehensive training and education on practice ethics, policies and procedures and strict adherence to federal and state healthcare laws.
.
Develop accessible lines of communication, such as discussions at staff meetings regarding fraudulent or erroneous conduct issues, and the use of community bulletin boards to keep your practice employees updated regarding your office compliance activities.
Develop a system to conduct internal monitoring and auditing focusing on high-risk billing and coding issues through performance of periodic audits.
Enforce disciplinary standards by making clear or ensuring employees are aware that compliance is treated seriously and that violations will be dealt with consistently and uniformly.
Respond appropriately to detected violations through the investigation of allegations and the disclosure of incidents to the appropriate government entities.
*Please read the entire Compliance Program Guidance for Individual and Small Group Physician Practices to fully understand the OIG recommendations.
As you can see, many of the 7 elements
recommended by the OIG are already part of your
practice environment. In many cases, doctors offices are already
doing some of the things that a compliance program requires, they
just are not calling it that. With the Office Compliance Pro you
will have an outstanding set of compliance training and organizational
tools, and a documentation system, designed to help you put all the
pieces together and improve upon your compliance program efforts.
Now you will be able to create, access and store your office compliance information and your office policies and procedures electronically.
Our new "ECR" will also enable your compliance officer to update your policies and procedures quickly "on the fly" to keep your office updated with the very latest, and constantly changing, federal and state compliance regulations.
The system includes a wide variety of forms designed specifically for your practice environment.
By doing a simple “find and replace” within the policy templates, you are able to customize the policies and procedures to your individual office. You can also easily make your own edits to the forms so you can tailor them to your exact training and personnel needs.
Well, at least a little FUN. With the all new "Dashboard System" all personnel will have instant access to your office policies, procedures, and compliance information. And since it’s all viewable using Internet Explorer, you already have everything that you need for quick viewing
on your office computer or new tablet computer.
Quickly access your favorite compliance related "internal" and "external" links. The Dashboard System allows you and your staff to easily access your own office policies and procedures manual, internet websites, pdf files, audio/podcasts, PowerPoint presentations, video/webcasts, webinars, and much more. And you can change it at any time to keep pace with your own needs and personnel.
Create your own video educational materials explaining common office procedures and how you want them carried out. Create a video explaining a lab procedure, how to answer the phone, how to greet and check in the new patient, how you want personnel to administer therapy procedures on patients, and add these to the Dashboard and Chiropractic Office Policy Manual. for personnel to quickly reference as needed. Involve the whole staff and make setting up your policies and procedures for the office a little fun! This will be time well spent reviewing your policies and procedures training protocol and especially in training new staff members.
The Dashboard system also has a convenient electronic "Bulletin Board" area where the compliance officer or doctor can post compliance information and alerts to communicate to office personnel.
The
Chiropractic Office Policy Manual
is the centerpiece of the all new
Office Compliance Pro and provides the vehicle to create,
access, and update your office
policies and procedures. By using the electronic portion of the
manual you can create and customize your compliance
policies and procedures, print staff training manuals, and allow staff
to quickly access your office compliance information
and resources without looking for their "paper" manual.
The Chiropractic Office Policy Manual is specifically designed to make it as easy as possible for your chiropractic office to create and update a customized policies, procedures, and compliance training manual.
The Office Policy Manual is a wealth of information with hundreds of forms that cover all aspects of your office policies and procedures. We have provided over 135 policy examples with suggested text that is specific to a chiropractic practice environment to help you get started. Add, edit, or delete policies until it meets your specific needs.
The main sections of the Office Policy Manual are:
1. Compliance Program Policies
2. Operational
Policies
3. HIPAA Security & Electronics
4. HIPAA Privacy (HIPAA
Policies & Procedures Manual included!)
5. Documentation
Standards
6. Coding & Billing Standards
7. Radiology & Ancillary Testing
8.
Civil Rights Policies
9. Personnel Policies
10. Job Description
Each section is filled with in-depth, fully developed information and customizable policies and procedures for chiropractic office personnel training.
With the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), mandates that, [under section 6401(a) of the ACA, which established a new section 1866(j)(8) of the Act, a provider of medical or other items or services or a supplier shall, as a condition of enrollment in Medicare, Medicaid or CHIP, establish a compliance program that contains certain ‘‘core elements’’] of a Federal Compliance Program.
While the timeline for the Secretary to determine the date that providers and suppliers must establish the required core elements as a condition of enrollment in Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP has not been clearly established the requirement to establish a compliance program and a penalty for not having one is obviously getting closer.
And in reality, it just makes good business sense to go ahead right now and establish a compliance program for your health care facility. It will help you get your office organized and will allow you to re-evaluate your office policies and procedures and improve upon your staff training protocol. That makes you more efficient and being more efficient saves you time and money.
Important Note:Some managed care contracts are now requiring, as a condition of participation, that you implement a compliance program that closely resembles the OIG federal compliance program. BCBS Advantage Plan is an example. Watch your contract(s) and make sure you know what you are signing. The Office Compliance Pro is a great tool to assist you with these programs as well.
The Office Compliance Pro is an invaluable compilation of resources. The program brings together information and links to many resources necessary for you to keep your practice compliant.
The program has links to various information sources such as federal and state laws and regulations, laws and information from the OIG (such as the OIG Compliance Guide), information about Medicare and Medicaid, and more. Additionally, the Office Compliance Pro provides you with custom linkage to information such as contract rules for managed care providers with whom you may contract, such as Aetna, BlueCross and BlueShield, Humana, United Health Care and others. Make sure you are following the rules of the contract you signed before the insurance company does a "post payment" audit on your practice. As you find new resources continue to build your reference library within the Office Compliance Pro dashboard system and the Chiropractic Office Policy Manual itself.
