Medical Practice Oversight

Oversight for all Medical Practices

The definition of oversight is “watchful and responsible care.” When applied to your medical practice, oversight means paying attention to operational details and establishing checks and balances. Without proper (i.e., proactive) oversight, your medical practice could risk losing revenue, experiencing fraud, or falling into noncompliance.

As a healthcare-focused CPA and Certified Healthcare Business Consultant, I provide objective and proactive oversight for all types of medical practices.

Who performs medical practice oversight?

Medical practice oversight must be performed by someone who is independent of your practice. This could be an outside advisor such as your CPA or healthcare consultant.

When should you perform medical practice oversight?

Medical practice oversight is an ongoing process. Although there’s no such thing as a perfect medical practice, you should know if yours is in order at any given time. Depending on the size of your medical practice, oversight activities should take place monthly, quarterly, or, at a minimum, annually.

Activities are involved in medical practice oversight

Medical practice oversight includes a thorough review of many aspects of your practice, including:

• Financial performance (and comparison to industry benchmarks)
• Provider production
• Internal controls
• Overhead costs
• Employee overtime and related staffing patterns
• Compliance with OSHA, HIPAA, and other regulations

The consequences of poor medical practice oversight

Insufficient medical practice oversight could result in:

• Loss of revenue
• Increase in expenses without explanation
• Recoup of reimbursements by third-party payers
• Fraud investigation
• Federal government or commercial payer compliance audit
