Billing Victory for Health Care Provider

Hodgson Russ represented a client who learned that its Medicare billing privileges had been permanently suspended for a five-month period for technical reporting errors unrelated to patient care quality. As a result, the client faced losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in reimbursements for health care services that it had already provided to patients. Our attorneys successfully persuaded the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services that its regulations were being misapplied. The agency reconsidered the determination and ordered the client's billing privileges to be reinstated in full - resulting in one very relieved client.
