subject: CoP Compliance Challenges you need to Overcome [print this page] Conditions of Participation (CoP) are a set of regulatory standards which hospitals need to agree to meet as a condition for getting federal funding through the Medicare program. These COPs are established by CMS.
You may often encounter CoP compliance challenges and claim denials in your effort to get the rightful reimbursement. It has left even the most hardworking compliance staff with the nagging feeling that they are missing something. So you and your staff need to stay abreast of all compliance issues, documentation loopholes, and claim denials.
A good way to stay tuned to all these is an audio conference. When you sign up for one, it'll coach you on specific CoP requirements, explanation of evidence required to show compliance, strategies to master a compliance survey, tools to gain compliance, among other things.
On signing up for it, you will get up to the minute information on CoP compliance challenges in addition to any new guidance from CMS and NHPCO, what you need to know about criminal background checks for your regular staff versus contracted staff, new issues for hospices, and lots more.
But the best part of attending such a conference is that you can attend them from the comforts of your office or meeting room. Thus you save on your travelling costs here. And even if you miss out on a scheduled conference, you can always come back and listen to CD and PDF transcripts.
And to top it all, on attending such a conference, you also stand to acquire CEUs. So go for one and bid goodbye to all your CoP compliance woes.
