Would your telehealth billing practices withstand an audit?

The results are in: only 0.0023% of all telehealth providers used inappropriate Medicare billing practices during a recent OIG Program Integrity Review. 

Does this mean you're now off the hook for increased telehealth billing oversight from CMS? 

Not quite.

Faisal Khan, Esq., is a former government lawyer and pored over the recently-released report to interpret the OIG's findings for you and distill them into real-world actions you can take to audit-proof your telehealth billing practices. He's recently negotiated a couple of multi-million dollar penalty reductions for audited clients, so he's been in the trenches!

Are you confident about your billing practices?

Given NGL's deep expertise in the evolution of regulatory policies, we are incredibly well positioned to defend telehealth, digital health, and virtual care management audits and investigations. And we do.

This expertise led us to develop a system of proactive steps to identify, mitigate, and close compliance gaps in billing, claims, and the patient selection process. This system helps clients minimize individual and corporate liability risk (civil and criminal) and financial exposure.

Conference and Speaking Schedule

We're branching out!

 In addition to our regular US conferences and speaking engagements, we're fielding many more inquiries from international businesses seeking to launch or expand into the US. We're going where these innovators are and sharing information about what it takes to enter the US healthcare market. We'll have more on this topic in a future newsletter, but for now, you'll see our conference schedule expand across the ocean. 

Faisal Khan, Esq., made it to Warsaw, Poland (virtually) to moderate and speak on 3 panels about virtual care, health equity, and the evolution of healthcare standards at the Health Tech Forward conference on October 4-5. 

Kaitlyn O'Connor, Esq., is off to Lisbon, Portugal, October 18-19 to tell European innovators how to build a revenue model around US healthcare reimbursement at the IVRHA Global Symposium. And no doubt to enjoy some late-season sunshine. 

Reema Taneja, Esq., is speaking on Market Trends and Strategic Integration at the South Asian Bar Association's (DC chapter) Health Care Technology and the Law panel discussion on Friday, October 28th. 

Legally FemTech Podcast host and privacy expert Bethany Cobin, Esq., interrupted her vacation last week to testify on reproductive health data privacy at a hearing for the Maryland Cybersecurity Council's Ad Hoc Committee on Consumer Privacy. 

And finally, we hope to see you at HLTH next month in Las Vegas. In addition to NGL’s Rebecca Gwilt and Kaitlyn O’Connor, please join our own Faisal Khan, Esq., who will be moderating a panel on the future of digital therapeutics!
