DUE DILIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE

Identify Fraud and Abuse Risk Before Deals Close

Hardly a day passes when you do not hear about a new merger or acquisition in the health care sector. The trend toward consolidation in creating larger systems with a wider array of services has been dramatic over the last decade. Some mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are monumental in scope, but most relate to individual hospitals, clinics and practices. eCatalyst Due Diligence Services help take the fraud and abuse risk out of M&A deals.

PEACE OF MIND

Avoid fraud and abuse

Healthcare is a highly regulated industry. Confirming that a target company has substantially been in compliance with applicable law is critical in healthcare M&A transactions during due diligence. A common concern in most transactions is healthcare fraud and abuse.

eCatalyst can give you peace of mind when it comes to determining if a target company is committing fraud and abuse by assigning incorrect codes. We conduct in-depth audits that include ICD-10-CM/PCS, CTP, HCPCS, E&M, HCCs, charges, etc.

DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE

Understanding due diligence

Due diligence should ensure that the seller does not have a track record of healthcare fraud or abuse.

“Fraud” is the intentional deception and misrepresentation of material facts that can result in an unauthorized benefit of payment from a medical insurer or government payer. Some examples are, falsifying claims or medical records or misrepresentation of dates on services provided.

“Abuse” involves provider practices that are inconsistent with sound financial and medical practices that result in unnecessary cost to the payer, or payment for care that is not medically necessary.
