Hospice Audit Updates: UPICs May Pick You for a Prepayment Review

Hospice providers remain under heavy scrutiny, with prepayment audit and other audit activity on the rise. Unified Program Integrity Contractors (UPICs) historically conducted post-payment reviews. However, over the last six months, they have joined Medicare Administrative Contractors in reviewing claims on a prepayment basis. In this episode, Husch Blackwell’s Bryan Nowicki (https://www.huschblackwell.com/profes...) and Zaina Niles (https://www.huschblackwell.com/profes...) discuss this new type of UPIC audit and what your hospice can expect if a UPIC picks you.
