Ease Your Medicare Compliance Pains with Automated Controls

(www.infogix.com)

Medicare Reporting has always presented a challenge for reporting entities. The Medicare Secondary Payer Act effective January 1, 2011 will require not only Group Health plans, but all Liability Insurers, Self Insured, No-Fault Insurance and Worker's Compensation Insurers to identify claimants that are Medicare beneficiaries and submit a report when a beneficiary's claims are fully or partially resolved.

In this one-hour complimentary webinar, Jennifer S. Burke, Partner at Cassiday Schade, LLC., and Daniel Dopp, Group Leader at Infogix, will discuss:

* Challenges that typically impact the accuracy and effectiveness of Medicare Reporting
* Ramifications of non-compliance
* Best practices and standards in developing an Information Controls Framework for Medicare reporting

Medicare mandatory reporting requirements have caused headaches for participating organizations since their inception. Along with the accelerating changes, business complexities and an ever-changing technology landscape, the risk of reporting errors increases every day. Organizations that are not compliant are faced with stiff penalties, fines and unwanted headlines that bring the adverse publicity to your organization..

As Medicare requirements expand and change, your controls need to change, too. The information required for these reports comes from many different systems, on different computing platforms, and applications. Manual controls are being replaced by automated controls but changing source systems, batch and real time functionality and data transformation to the acceptable CMS format creates even greater risk with this mostly home-grown and ad-hoc approach.

Infogix solutions offer a holistic approach to your control strategy that addresses these issues around Medicare reporting. Our user-friendly controls engine allows business users to create and manage reports with timely and accurate automated controls, create an independent audit trail and give visibility to business partners that the information required is accurate, consistent and reliable. In addition, the controls life-cycle around Medicare reporting can be extended as a best practice for information controls assessment, design, implementation and visibility across the enterprise.
