The OIG released the results of a MAC audit report on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) services. Based on the sample charts, they estimated there were over $39 million in HBOT overpayments for the sample year alone in this jurisdiction.
The OIG reported that 85 percent of claims made by WPS did not comply with Medicare requirements, resulting in overpayments amounting to a staggering $42 million.
As we near the end of 2017 and optimistically venture toward 2018, it’s important to remain diligent about being responsible stewards of compliance with regard to Hyperbaric Oxygen treatments.
