Functions
Each clinical department has a Compliance Liaison, appointed
by the Chair, who acts as an advocate for department compliance and
supervises the effort on a departmental level. The Liaisons, the Compliance
Program Medical Director, and the Compliance Officer meet periodically
to discuss compliance issues. The Compliance Liaison assumes responsibility
to:
- Raise and maintain compliance awareness;
- Address compliance issues;
- Communicate Compliance Program updates to the department;
- Participate in planning department education and training sessions;
- Assist in drafting department billing guidelines;
- Refer issues to and collaborate with the Compliance Officer.

Education Programs
PRACTITIONER DOCUMENTATION TRAINING
The Compliance Office provides training and education
to practitioners (physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants,
etc.) on the components of Evaluation and Management (E&M) coding
and how to assign the correct code based on documentation and coding
guidelines. We also cover Medicare Teaching Physician Rules, the Medicare
Primary Care Exception and guidelines for procedure coding and documentation.
Newly hired physicians will receive an initial compliance
overview as a part of their New Physician Orientation program. They
are also required to complete a web-based training program covering
Rules for Supervision Physicians in a Teaching Setting.
Individual or group education sessions can be arranged
by calling the Compliance Office at 275-1609.
