The process for effectively tracking warranty claims is challenging, cumbersome, and involves many stakeholders. As a result, many hospitals are struggling in this area which has led to significant CMS overpayments. Due to the severity of this issue, OIG is currently conducting frequent audits of compliance and accuracy in this area.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify the potential gaps within your warranty claims process
   

2. Define key stakeholders and departments responsible for a successful process

3. Predict your facilities overall understanding and preparedness for an OIG audit
