Becoming a Rehab Agency can offer great benefits to certain outpatient therapy providers but it also comes with more regulations and requirements. Therefore, BCMS created a Compliance Program specific to the needs of a Rehab Agency. We also provide consultation to assist in the start-up of a Rehab Agency and/or the transition from a private practice to a Rehab agency including a mock Medicare Survey. Our policies and procedures are one of a kind in that we provide the regulatory text, in user-friendly terminology, while simultaneously allowing for personalization and customization to fit the uniqueness of each practice and/or business. Clients are not left to interpret policies or regulations as we build orientation and consultation time into the price of our programs.
Our Compliance Policies & Procedures have been written to provide:
Sound content based on regulatory and risk management validated resources including but not limited to:
- The OIG’s Guidances for Physicians and Small Group Practices
- Medicare’s Benefit Policy, Claims Processing, Program Integrity Manuals
- CMS’ Conditions of Participation for Rehabilitation Agencies or Conditions of Coverage for Private Practice Therapy Services
