Author Description

The Insider’s Guide to Compliance for Physician Practices provides a one-stop shop for physician practices and other small or independent practices that need to meet government and industry standards for a compliance program but do not have the time or money to hire a full-time compliance officer or consultant. Many practice administrators or office managers are responsible for compliance but often have only gotten bits and pieces of the training they need to address all the expected elements of compliance for a physician practice. This book will cover not only the elements of a compliance program and how to satisfy those in a reasonable way, but will also cover key topical areas like HIPAA, OSHA, and handling government audits. This book is written in an informal and easy-to-read format; it is not a dry, technical manual but rather a discussion from an operational perspective of what you need to do and the most realistic way to do it, especially given the resource limitations of a physician practice.
