Granted, I don't know as much about this as I need to, but as usual, it appears the fed continues to screws up everything they touch. So what happens now when hospitals cannot possibly meet their impossible standards and they start yanking Medicare money willy nilly? Will an EHR audit actually be scarier than an IRS audit? BTW, this is from a friend of mine who left MT and went into coding . . . and says she is s-t-r-e-s-s-e-d out. Supposedly the fed is going to stop subsizing the EHR in 2014. Could somebody close the lid on Pandora's box please? http://www.clinical-innovation.com/topics/ehr-emr/case-study-possible-price-tag-mu-audit-hits-14m?nopaging=1;

Hospitals are audited by Medicare all the time. Any programs used should have been all trialed and tested prior to implementation. Hospital administrators are paid huge sums of money to make sure they are in compliance. If they are not, they deserve to be fined.

Okay, like I said this is still all Greek to me but I decided to become more familiar with EHR. What is this guy saying, that they do unfair audits or something?

Being accountable always brings out the whiners - Obama Adm.

Just like the crackdown on MC/MA fraud (which the Obama Adminstration has been hugely successful) they are not going to dump money into the hospitals just so they can waste it and pay their execs bonuses. They have to prove they are doing what they signed on for.

This might be better addressed - on the coding board?

Just a thought. It doesn't sound like the auditors came directly from the fed though. I think they were an independent agency. Way down in the article, it states that they were able to meet the federal standards/guidelines. I think it was just a matter of the hospital submitting what they thought the auditors wanted and finding out later the auditors needed something else. This is just my supposition though. The coding board will probably be able to provide more insight.

Why don't we just call this forum exactly what it is.  No matter how many times someone tries to start a dialogue about the real issues facing this country, or inject a little humor, it's right back to slicing and dicing Obama or cheerleading for Rush Limbaugh.  The Republicans/conservatives/Tea Party are so tiring and I can no longer suffer fools gladly.  I'm just worn out from the constant mealy mouth rot. ...
