Live! RAC Monitor continued its tradition at the HCCA 20th Annual Compliance Institute with live broadcasts. For the past 5 years the lead live broadcast has been an interview with Inspector General Dan Levinson following his keynote speech. Dan provided Monitor Monday listeners with a recap of his remarks starting with the analogy to the Parthenon and the Pillars – relating them to the pillars in health care.
As has been the tradition with the OIG there was an announcement of updated guidelines (B-7) on permissive exclusions that were posted on the OIG site Monday morning: Criteria for implementing section 1128(b)(7) exclusion authority.
And of course for everyone a reminder: are you checking the exclusions list on a monthly basis?
