Rivet Health Law practice addresses the full spectrum of healthcare and reimbursement matters involving government and commercial payors.

Payors (Government and Commercial)

Payors routinely audit providers and they often require pre-payment claim reviews before issuing payment. Any payor audit can create financial challenges for healthcare providers. Rivet Health Law is equipped to respond to payor audits from start to finish. Payor reimbursement matters that begin with a seemingly simple audit letter tend to become convoluted and require nuanced understanding of policy guidance and contract terms within the context of proper assignment of ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, CPT®, and HCPCS codes. Rivet Health Law attorneys have extensive operational experience with coding, audits, and appeals. This enables us to recognize and address important, often-overlooked details that can affect the outcome of an audit.
