Medicare Audits: Strategies for DMEPOS Suppliers in an Era of Enhanced Oversight

As federal oversight intensifies, suppliers face increasing scrutiny from Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs), Unified Program Integrity Contractors (UPICs), Recovery Audit Contractors (RACs), Supplemental Medical Review Contractors (SMRCs), the Office of Inspector General (OIG), and other enforcement agencies. This course provides DMEPOS suppliers with a practical roadmap for successfully navigating Medicare audits while adapting to CMS's expanding oversight efforts. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the current Medicare audit landscape and what we may anticipate in the future. Through real-world case studies and industry examples, attendees will learn how to proactively identify compliance risks, prepare for audits, respond effectively to additional documentation requests (ADRs), manage appeals, and implement corrective action plans that strengthen organizational compliance.
