Kim Brandt is a familiar voice and face for the compliance community, having worked at both CMS and in the Senate for well over a decade. Currently she serves as the Principal Deputy Administrator for Policy and Operations at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
In this podcast she shares the latest on what CMS is doing and what compliance professionals need to consider. Listen in as she shares:
- The emphasis on patients over paperwork
- CMS’s efforts to reduce the regularly burden, which has already led to a 20% decrease in new manual pages
- New, simplified documentation requirements
- Revised proof of delivery requirements
- How CMS is meeting the opioid epidemic
- A focus on targeted probes and education
- A new emphasis on outreach to and hearing from the provider community, including an RFI on Stark Law.
Thank you for the update. I think working collaboratively to reduce claims is a great approach.
I agree that we all need to put “The emphasis on patience over paperwork”, but patients are equally important.
That was my typo, Hannah. It should have been “patients over paperwork” all along. I just typed incorrectly.
