A Medicare Records Request Letter Should Never Be Ignored

Contact Florida Healthcare Law Firm immediately for legal counsel to help you decode your Medicare records request letter to avoid having your business shut down.

The scenario is all too common. A physician or medical facility manager receives a Medicare records request letter to disclose information about insurance. This information may be demanded because of comprehensive error rate testing or the need for additional documentation results. Inundated with demands of the practice, the physician or office manager puts off the response or forgets to answer. But failure to get back to the query can have serious repercussions, such as billing privileges postponed or revoked. Sometimes, the government takes back the over payment or completely shuts down a business. Moreover, requirements are continually changing and, unfortunately, fraud is on the rise. That’s where the Florida Healthcare Law Firm comes into play. An audit of your practice or business may be required. Consequently, securing a competent staff of attorneys that specializes only in medical law is imperative. We can help you obtain an additional copy of this letter and guide you through the response process. Don’t try to handle this alone. We are here to help.
