Let’s start the weekend with an edition of the Employee Spotlight Series! This week, we are highlighting Cherie Gurski. Cherie is an Auditor and joined the SpendMend team almost three years ago. Cherie is a talented Auditor and is respected by her team members! We asked Jacob Schinkai, Audit Supervisor, about Cherie, and he said, “Cherie is a great person to work with and is very thorough with everything she does. She makes my job that much easier by having every detail ready to go at all times! She is such a big asset to the Black Pod and SpendMend as a whole, and she’s always able to make me laugh throughout the day with her funny remarks or references on whatever she may have just come across.” Thank you, Cherie! We appreciate all that you do! Read the full spotlight here: https://lnkd.in/gXFgFB5q #EmployeeSpotlight #SpendMend #Auditor

New Blog Alert! Mastering CMS Medical Device Warranty Credits for Compliance and Savings By: Alan Brander RN MBA FACHE, SVP of Clinical Services Did you know that mismanaging explanted medical device warranty credits can result in significant financial penalties and lost revenue for hospitals? CMS guidelines require strict compliance when returning and reporting warranty credits for devices like pacemakers and neurostimulators. Failure to do so can lead to: - Fines from $13,000 to $27,000 per instance of non-compliance - Repayment of triple the credit amount for errors - Allegations of Medicare fraud due to compliance gaps By optimizing processes and staying proactive, hospitals can recover millions in warranty credits while maintaining compliance and protecting patient care.
