  Your Audit Found a Problem. Now What?

  Aug 17, 202610 min

  Finding a compliance problem sounds like a success story. It is not always one. In this episode, Dr. Natasha Guess breaks down a real enforcement action that shows exactly what can happen in the space between finding a problem and actually doing something about it, and why that gap is where a good compliance story can quietly turn into a serious one. You will learn: Why finding a problem is only half the job, and what actually happens next determines everything The federal deadline most practices do not even know exists once a problem has been identified The honest, unglamorous reasons money that has already been identified as owed still does not get returned A practical way to trace one finding all the way through, from discovery to resolution, so you can see exactly where your own process breaks down If your practice has ever run an internal audit, a billing review, or a chart review, this episode is worth twenty minutes of your time.

  Your Vendor Signed a BAA. Why That Still Won't Protect Your Practice

  Aug 10, 202610 min

  A signed Business Associate Agreement feels like proof that your vendor relationships are covered. It is not. In this episode, Dr. Natasha Guess breaks down two real enforcement actions that show exactly where the gap between a signed BAA and actual vendor oversight tends to show up, and why that gap is one of the most common operational risks in small and mid-size healthcare practices today. You will learn: Why a signed BAA is the starting point of vendor governance, not the finish line What regulators are actually looking for when a vendor is involved in a breach or a patient rights complaint The two questions every practice owner and office manager should be able to answer about their vendors right now A practical, five-question exercise you can run this week to find your own vendor oversight gaps before regulators do If your practice relies on any outside vendor for your EHR, billing, IT, cloud storage, or AI tools, this episode is worth twenty minutes of your time.

  The $1.45 Million Billing Mistake: What Leadership Missed Before DOJ Got Involved

  Aug 3, 20269 min

  Most people assume federal enforcement only happens to large health systems. This episode looks at a real case involving a physician practice and a $1.45 million settlement, and why the actual lesson has nothing to do with the dollar amount. Dr. Natasha Guess breaks down what regulators are really looking for when they investigate a practice's billing operations, why "I trust my staff" isn't a compliance strategy, and what it actually costs a practice once an investigation begins, far beyond the settlement figure itself. In this episode, you'll learn: Why every claim a practice submits represents a chain of operational decisions, not just a billing transaction The difference between trusting your team and having a system that actually verifies their work What happens to a practice's reputation, referral relationships, and leadership capacity once a federal investigation starts A practical action step you can start on this week to find your own compliance blind spot Resources mentioned in this episode: Take the Compliance Confidence Assessment™ to find your practice's operational gaps before they become audit findings, enforcement actions, or costly disruptions: https://guesscomplianceconsulting.myflodesk.com/compliance-confidence-assessment Listen to this episode: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/guess-what-compliance-can-be-simple/id1853309920 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0PiHkaXMXOJk2NfWm5UfUm About the Show: Guess What?

  One Patient Complaint Can Change Everything

  Jul 27, 20269 min

  When most people picture a federal compliance investigation, they imagine something big, a major ransomware attack, a multimillion-dollar fraud case, a national headline. But sometimes it starts with just one patient. In this final episode of the Compliance in the Operations series, Dr. Natasha Guess breaks down a real OCR enforcement action that began with a single patient complaint about delayed access to their medical records, and what it reveals about the operational systems most practices assume they have but have never actually tested. In this episode, you will learn: Why one patient complaint was enough to trigger a full OCR investigation, no breach, no cyberattack required The difference between a HIPAA question and an operational question, and why regulators are usually evaluating the latter Why "we've never had a complaint" is not the same thing as being prepared What separates practices that respond well to a complaint from those that scramble A recap of what this eight-episode series covered, and the one question every episode has come back to A practical action step you can start on this week to close your own biggest operational gap Key Question From This Episode: If a patient filed a complaint against your practice tomorrow, would your documentation reflect how your practice actually operates, or would you be trying to build the operation after the investigation already started?

  We're Too Small for That. Until OCR Came Knocking.

  Jul 20, 20268 min

  We're too small for that. It's one of the most common things I hear from healthcare practice owners. But regulators don't decide who to investigate based on the size of your practice. In this episode, Dr. Natasha Guess breaks down a real healthcare enforcement action and shares the leadership lesson every small healthcare practice should learn before regulators come knocking. If you believe compliance belongs to one person in your organization, this episode may change the way you think about building a defensible compliance program.
