Ok I am putting this all out there. If anybody knows an attorney that deals with small healthcare practices being audited by Discovery, please refer me to them. (I am not an SASP member so would need someone private).
I have been in this process for about two months now, where they found an alleged "billing code error", dating back three years, and came back with an amount so incredulous, it will no doubt close my practice's doors. I never shy away from responsibility but I know I am not wrong here.
I have reached out to colleagues who have all been a great help, but unfortunately the lawyers are all either on leave, out of the country or not responding.
It saddens me to think we are in a "healthcare system" where the good, honest, hard-working, people-serving, small healthcare practices are not being fought FOR, but against.
I am not going to share my whole 17 year story of dedication to this profession here. But I will fight for what is fair and good and right.
And I KNOW I'm not just speaking for myself here, there are masses out there in the same situation.
So please guide, refer or advise if you know anybody.
Thanks in advance!
