Medicare 101 for OMS
- Registration Closed
This course provides education on Medicare programs and policies that impact oral and maxillofacial surgeons and their staff. This self-paced program includes discussions of Medicare components (Part A, Part B, Part C and Part D), Medicare fraud and abuse, payment policies, appeal processes, and miscellaneous Medicare-related topics. There is a saying in healthcare – “as Medicare goes, so do the other carriers.” If you take the time to thoroughly learn the Medicare program, you will better understand your commercial payers, too.
Learning Objectives:
- Differentiate between Medicare Part A, Part B, Part C and Part D.
- Identify actions prohibited by the False Claims Act (FCA), the Anti-Kickback Statute and the Physician Self-Referral Law (Stark Law).
- Explain Medicare’s enrollment options, including “opting out” of Medicare.
- Define fraud and abuse.
- Name provisions and penalties associated with Medicare fraud and abuse.
- Review how federal law regulations and Medicare polices impact the oral and maxillofacial surgery practices.
- Discuss the general steps of the Medicare billing procedures and appeals process.
