Our Services
Compliance Consulting
Compliance is a critical part of the home care and hospice industry. Providers in the U.S. face more stringent regulations and scrutiny in regards to clinical eligibility, billing, documentation, business practices, and financial/income requirements.
The U.S. has sophisticated fraud detection measures in place. Coupled with the interpretive aspect of documentation, the risk faced by home care and hospice providers is higher when compared to other providers in the healthcare industry.
Corporate Investigation Consulting has a seasoned home health and hospice consulting team specialized in ensuring operational, billing, financial and clinical compliance. Our team is composed of legal experts, finance experts, former intelligence officers, and other professional that offer compliance related assistance. We understand what government agencies, contractors, and regulators are looking for in regards to home health and hospice compliance. CALL 866-352-9324 for assistance on all home health and hospice consulting needs in the U.S. to avoid legal and financial problems.
Internal Audits
Aging persons with special health and wellness needs are reliant on health and hospice providers. It’s therefore important that providers have internal checks and balances. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid are also justified in ensuring the services they finance meet a certain standard. There are programs in place meant to ensure home health and hospice providers in the U.S. have proper systems that review billing and other aspects of operations.
We can assess internal processes and procedures to ensure they meet industry and regulatory standards. Corporate Investigation Consulting can facilitate probe audits, validation audits, annual compliance audits, mock surveys, review billing & documentation processes, and more.
Our services include suggesting improvements to internal processes and procedures. We have legal experts, financial experts, compliance experts, and other professionals specialized in auditing healthcare and hospice providers. The risks of running a home health or hospice facility with poor internal controls are dire. Call Corporate Investigation Consulting experts and avoid internal audit problems.
External Audit Defense
Our home health and hospice consulting services also include external audit to clarify financials. External audits are requirements by investors, lenders, regulators, and other stakeholders in the operations of health and hospice providers.
External audits can originate from many sources ranging from state health departments to state Medicaid agencies, CMS contractors, and state fraud agencies. Such audits can have unfavorable outcomes if the provider in question hasn’t complied with regulations or abided by industry standards.
Our home health and hospice consulting services can challenge external audit results based on many factors ranging from how audits are done to other procedural requirements/guidelines. We can also challenge evidence and defend providers from unfair audits.
External audits have preparation and response guidelines. We help providers familiarize themselves with industry positions and guidelines on external audit issues. We can also track audits, outcomes, perform routine monitoring, and handle corrective actions.
Cybersecurity Consulting & Internal Audits
Corporate Investigation Consulting can also handle cybersecurity issues faced by home health & hospice providers. Data is a critical part healthcare provider operations. Patient information must be protected from cyber threats.
If your operations are under attack, we can establish the extent of an intrusion and secure the entire IT infrastructure. We can also provide the legal support needed to challenge legal issues such as lawsuits arising from cyber-attacks in home health and hospice facilities.
We can assess internal controls through internal audits and protect your operations from private hackers operating nationwide, foreign intrusions, third-party vendor risks, ransomware, malware, and more. We can uncover intrusions from private hackers out to steal sensitive patient data, identify intruders and establish quick responses to mitigate loss and other unfavorable outcomes.
We have cybersecurity experts with the know-how and technological resources to stop and track foreign intrusions. Our experts can also assess third-party vendor risks and initiate timely responses mitigating corporate crises. Most importantly, we can control risks associated with malware, ransomware, and similar attacks on the information technology systems of home health facilities and hospices.
Digital Forensics Consulting
Our home health and hospice consulting services also include digital forensics consulting. Our experts can obtain electronically stored data containing evidence that may be overlooked and result in failed investigations.
Our experienced forensic consultants supported by former intelligence officers and legal experts spread out nationwide can offer providers unlimited access to any data in their systems for litigation and investigation purposes.
We boast of a nationwide capacity to retrieve data in any state in accordance with complicated data privacy laws and hostile environments. Our services extend to digital forensics on mobile devices. We use methods like data mapping, interview custodians of data, conduct forensic analysis, index data, forensic data processing (to profile computer use), and more.
Risk Management Consulting
Every healthcare organization must plan for risk. Many clinical and non-clinical incidences can occur and cause harm, damage, or loss. In some cases, near-misses can occur, highlighting risks in practices and procedures.
We institute all risk management measures possible, including near miss and incident reporting. Our service focuses on avoiding adverse clinical & non-clinical adverse incidences and serious untoward incidences known to produce serious media and legal interest capable of creating public outrage, which in turn, results in loss of reputation and significant losses to a hospice’s reputation.
