Fraud, Waste and Abuse Training
Recently, many optometrists should have received a F.Y.I. memorandum from Blue Cross Blue Shield. This communication pertained to informing all Medicare Advantage (Part C) and Prescription Drug (Part D) providers that, they and their staff, must complete a CMS-required fraud, waste and abuse (FWA) training. Other managed care organizations may send similar communications to you shortly.
This training must be completed by December 31, 2009 and annually thereafter. It is available entirely online. Click below.
On behalf of many managed care organizations, Health Care Administrative Services (HCAS) has been contracted to provide the online training. They are a non-profit entity founded in January 2005 by several Massachusetts health plans to collaborate on administrative simplification initiatives. Participating organizations include Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Fallon Community Health Plan, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Health New England, Medical Network, Neighborhood Health Plan, Network Health and Tufts Health Plan.
