A basic understanding of regulatory compliance matters in the Medical Practice is beneficial, but not required. 

CMS began Probe and Educate in 2014 and in September 2018, the TPE Program was added to the Medicare Program Integrity Manual, replacing the Progressive Corrective Action medical review process. In this session, healthcare attorney Heidi Kocher will address these questions and more about TPE:

  • What is TPE?
  • What is the purpose and scope of this program?
  • Who does it impact?
  • How are providers selected for review?
  • What documents can be audited?

Self-paced online program includes unlimited review of previously recorded instruction and the downloadable PowerPoint handout for 6 months.
