Heard and seen in Las Vegas: Day One
Here are some highlights from Day 1 of the CRC Symposium!
“The MSP said, 'Primarily those physicians over there are low and no volume.' I asked them, 'What makes them low and no volume?' And she said, 'They are dead.' ”
- Sally Pelletier, CPMSM, CPCS, discusses low- and no-volume providers.
“If you see holes, if you see issues in your documentation, point them out. If nothing else, it’ll be helpful to your legal counsel down the line.”
- Catherine Ballard, Esq., discusses fair hearings.
“There’s a code of silence that exists in some places when late career practitioners start to become problematic, which is why we, as the gatekeepers of quality, need to be cognizant of this issue.”
- Todd Sagin, MD, JD, on aging practitioner policies.
"Everything that could have gone wrong, did."
- Carol S. Cairns, CPMSM, CPCS, on the roadblocks in the Miller v. Huron case, for which she served as an expert witness. For more on this cautionary tale of a negligent credentialing suit, read CRCJ's exclusive interview with Cairns here.
