Medicare's Signature Crackdown Webinar Recording

It is common practice to get a medical necessity certification from a physician for a non-emergency medical transport. More often than not, you can’t read the illegible signature scribbled on the bottom of the form. Medicare recently issued new guidance that signals a major crackdown on this practice. If you can’t prove that the squiggly line on the bottom of your PCS form is a clinician who is authorized to sign a PCS form, then Medicare has directed its reviewers to disregard the form entirely and collect a refund of the reimbursement you received.

This critical webinar recording will review the new Medicare signature verification guidelines, and will also review important new issues such as:

- What constitutes an acceptable signature?
- Can fax signatures meet the requirement?
- Are electronic signatures valid?
- What is a signature “attestation statement” and how can it help me?
- And More!
