No more eggnog. Toss the champagne bottles. The good times are over, and now it’s back to business. But not business as usual.
As the rest of the nation’s healthcare professionals clocked in for overtime, claims auditors were scrutinizing medical records, looking for the slightest inconsistency upon which to pounce. Now, nearly four weeks since its last news broadcast, Monitor Mondays will return this coming Monday with a cadre of the smartest minds in healthcare auditing. You’ll hear auditing news you won’t find anywhere else – except here and in RACmonitor.
