TPE Audits in Home Health: What’s Triggering Them and How to Survive

November 17, 1:00 - 2:00 pm

A TPE (Targeted Probe and Educate) audit in home health will examines an agency's claims and medical records to find billing errors, inconsistencies and inaccuracies and provide one-on-one education to fix them.  While the main goal of the TPE program is to help home health agencies lower their claim denial rates and improve documentation accuracy, it can be a stressful process!

We will review the top reasons we are seeing that are triggering TPE audits, how to avoid them, and how to survive if you find yourself under audit!

Objectives:

• Know and understand the top reasons that trigger TPE audits.
• Learn areas to focus your agency’s educational efforts to address these areas of risk.
• Get an audit checklist to use to make sure your documentation is complete and accurate.
