With all of the buzz surrounding RAC (Recovery Audit Contractor) and MIC (Medicaid Integrity Contractor) audits, providers may be overlooking the new ZPIC (Zone Program Integrity Contractor) audits, which has the potential to be equally disruptive to your organization.

Unlike RAC audits, where the primary focus is the identification of overpayments, ZPICs target potential fraud and abuse in the Medicare program. Through the ZPICs, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) will have, for the very first time, a contractor with the uniform jurisdiction of auditing the integrity of all Medicare-related claims for a particular provider. Thus, ZPICs will play an increasingly important role in fraud and abuse detection in the Medicare and Medicaid programs in the coming years. For this reason, providers should understand the role of ZPICs and how to prepare for them. 

Join us for a free webinar to learn about approaches and options for healthcare providers seeking to protect themselves from the risks created by the ZPIC program.

• Overview and objectives of the ZPIC Program
