From time to time, Medicare audits U.S. hospital payments. If
discrepancies are found, Medicare may withhold future payments to
compensate. Does anyone have information on the statistical methods
used by Medicare for auditing hospitals? In particular, how are
discrepancy ratios computed and what are the criteria used for
confidence intervals? Any references or information would be very
helpful.
Sincerely,
Chris Hollenbeak
