Wrong Ways To Approach Compliance.
In my twenty years of professional work in the healthcare compliance field, I’ve heard some horrifying compliance excuses. For example, “Let’s just correct the problem moving forward, we don’t really need to go back and return money.” I was shocked the first time I heard that little doozy.
“Correcting from now on,” is a terrible attitude to have when it comes to overpayment. Is saving a little cash now worth owing millions later? Unfortunately, excuses like this are par for the course. As a compliance professional, I hear dozens of them, all the time. It’s a nightmare.
I often wonder, doesn’t it make more sense to aim for compliance, the first time around? Compliance is a team effort and if we all just worked together, compliance wouldn’t be so difficult.
