We knew it was coming—and now, it’s here. OIG’s increased scrutiny of Remote Patient Monitoring (#RPM) and Chronic Care Management (#CCM) services has translated into real audits. Our firm is actively defending clients through these audits and gaining firsthand insight into what auditors are focusing on—and where they’re getting it wrong. Auditors are challenging documentation of practitioner orders, beneficiary consent, and medical necessity—sometimes based on incorrect interpretations of CMS guidelines. These misunderstandings can create unnecessary headaches for RPM providers, but they also highlight the need for clear documentation and proactive compliance measures. In our latest article, Stephanie Barnes and I break down: ? What auditors are looking for ? Common pitfalls (and how to avoid them) ? Steps you can take NOW to prepare for potential audits ??

"Food as Medicine isn't just an industry buzzword; it's a pivotal strategy that addresses some of the most pressing issues in our healthcare system." -Mike Pappas, Partner The connection between nutrition and healthcare is undeniable. Diet-related chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity are responsible for more than 1.7 million deaths annually and cost the U.S. healthcare system nearly $400 billion each year. Yet, for far too long, nutrition has been overlooked as a core component of patient care. The good news? Food as Medicine is gaining traction as a critical strategy in healthcare transformation. Studies show that for every $1 spent on food, there is a saving of approximately $2.50 in healthcare costs. By integrating nutrition into care models, we can address the root causes of chronic disease, alleviate financial strain on the healthcare system, and, most importantly, empower people to lead longer, healthier lives. We’re proud to be part of this movement as Michael Pappas takes a leading role in the ATA Action Virtual Foodcare Coalition: https://lnkd.in/gRT9PeXG. More to come!
