GAO Testimony: Consultants' Billing Advice May Lead to Improperly Paid Insurance Claims
U.S. Government Accountability Office [GAO] 
July 3, 2001
3 pages. "This testimony discusses the results of GAO's investigation of health care billing consultants whose seminars and workshops advise health care providers on how to boost revenue and avoid audits. Consultants at two workshops that GAO attended provided in-depth discussions of regulations on billing for health care services and compliance with health care laws and regulations. Some of this advice was inconsistent with federal law and guidance provided by the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Inspector General. Such advice could result in violations of both civil and criminal statutes. Some consultants urged health care providers to not report or refund overpayments from insurance carriers after they were discovered." [GAO-01-899T, Jun. 27, 2001]
