Practice Story

Help with Medicare Carrier Claims Audit

Scott Kruger, M.D., Virginia Oncology Associates

When our new Medicare carrier decided to do pre-audits and held onto millions of dollars of Medicare claims, McKesson Specialty Health stepped forward. There were deadlines to submit medical records and due to the sheer volume, the practice alone could not meet those deadlines. Using resources available to The US Oncology Network helped and we met the impossible deadlines set up by our Medicare carrier. In the end, not one charge was denied and we collected all of the money entitled to us. No one had to go the bank and get a personal loan to cover the millions of dollars that were in limbo, operations remained normal and we were supplied with the working capital until the audit was completed.
