Transforming Payment Accuracy: Developing an integrated payment integrity strategy to meet future healthcare demands
Thursday, June 21st at 7 am MDT
Room 250A of the Calvin Rampton Conference Center
Panel:
- John Shoemaker, BMA, CFE, CPA – Manager, Financial Investigations Department, Medical Mutual of Ohio

Fraud, waste and abuse has the attention of the entire healthcare industry. Everyone knows it needs to be addressed. However, the most common industry approach of segmenting the various areas of improper payments really doesn't maximize a payer's return on investment or streamline the payment process. In this session, hear from several industry experts and peers within the payer sector on how a holistic view of all improper payment exposure can identify the causal circumstances of overpayments and address a spectrum of issues, whether originally occurring due to processing errors or fraudulent behavior. Expect to come away from this session with actionable ideas that can be applied within your organization, regardless of how far your organization is along the continuum of building or maintaining a payment integrity function.
