COVID-19 brought with it a wide array of waivers and flexibilities from Medicare, Medicaid, Managed Care and commercial plans. This included completely waiving LCD and NCD requirements for certain equipment; increased use and expansion of telehealth services; and removing accreditation requirements, background checks and application fees as part of an expedited enrollment process. And with these temporary changes, come concerns from suppliers regarding what to expect once the Public Health Emergency is lifted. Will payer audits ramp back up, wreaking havoc on the industry? How can we protect our business when things get back to "normal?" This presentation will discuss some of the challenges that we expect to be confronted with, and will provide insight and guidance on how to plan and prevent audits from having a significant impact in the future.
