AN IDEAL RESOURCE FOR: Hospital pharmacies, coders, and billing departments
 
THE #1 REASON TO OWN THIS BOOK:
Given the typical hospitals heavy reliance on pharmacy revenues, its not surprising that the Office of the Inspector General and Recovery Audit Contractors have ramped up their investigations of pharmacy claims. Many OIG and RAC audits are resulting in major take-backs, and two of the most frequent causes are the use of incorrect HCPCS codes and/or billing unit errors. Both of these issues, and other frequent errors, are easily avoided by following the instruction and tips in this MedLearn Publishing resource.
