Strategic Planning for OIG Compliance
Speaker: Mario Fucinari, DC

Have you received your Self Audit Letter from Medicare yet?  Has the OIG office contacted you?  Do you have a Compliance Plan in place?  Find out what hospitals and large clinics are spending resources to ready for.  Learn from Dr. Mario Fucinari the ONLY chiropractic physician certified as a Medical Compliance Specialist!

Some may know compliance, but they know little about the chiropractic office.  Some know chiropractic procedures, but really don’t know about compliance.  Dr. Fucinari is the first and only chiropractor to be certified as a Medical Compliance Specialist (MCS-P). 

Learn how to apply compliance procedures to your practice by a full-time practitioner certified in compliance procedures.  What does it really mean to do a self-audit?  Procedures will be shown to bring you into compliance according to the OIG Guidelines.
