9:15 AM - 10:30 AM, PT - 1B | Speak Their Language: Training Providers on CDI Without Losing Them at ‘Hello’ | Christine Hall, CPC, CDEO, CPB, CPMA, CRC, CPC-I, CEMC
Effective CDI doesn’t just improve audit outcomes; it transforms patient care, coding accuracy, and compliance culture. However, bridging the gap between clinical language and documentation requirements requires more than just handouts and hope. In this session, we’ll explore practical, audit-driven strategies for training providers on CDI concepts in a way that resonates with their workflow, mindset, and time constraints. Learn how to translate audit findings into action plans that foster buy-in, reduce query fatigue, and sharpen documentation clarity without adding friction to clinical operations.
2:30 PM - 3:45 PM, PT - 4A | Incident To and Split/Shared: The Compliance Balancing Act for Auditors | Christine Hall, CPC, CDEO, CPB, CPMA, CRC, CPC-I, CEMC
Unlock the complexities of incident-to and split/shared billing in this essential session, designed for auditors navigating the blurred lines between compliance and productivity. We’ll explore how incident-to services, when properly documented, allow Medicare billing under the supervising physician and how split/shared services can be leveraged under AMA and payer-specific guidelines in facility settings. With increasing scrutiny on billing practices and supervision requirements, this session will break down the rules, dispel the myths, and equip auditors with practical tools to identify red flags and ensure accurate, defensible claims. Whether you’re auditing for risk, revenue integrity, or compliance, this session will prepare you to evaluate these billing models confidently and consistently.
