Across America, in sprawling university teaching facilities and in picturesque rural hospitals, administrators are dealing with a powerful tool called statistical extrapolation.

When auditors say that they’re using statistical “sampling” to review your Medicare claims, what they are often doing is using extrapolation – which could take what might appear to be minor discrepancies in your billing and turn them into major financial obligations.

To learn more about extrapolation and what it means for you and your team, the producers of RACmonitor have invited senior healthcare analyst Frank Cohen to be the special guest during the next live edition of Monitor Mondays.

The venerable weekly Internet broadcast will also include these instantly recognizable features:

• Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.

• The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.

• Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.

• Legislative Update: Cate Brantley, senior government affairs liaison for Zelis, will report on the latest news concerning healthcare legislation.
