FRIDAY February 26, 2016:
“Earthquakes, Aftershocks and OMHA’s Newest Pilot Program”
Reviewing OMHA’s Latest:
Settlement Conference Facilitation Phase III
Sponsored by The Health Law Partners, Medlinks, Aerolib, Recovery Analytics,
and the Council for Certification of Medical Auditors
This week, Appeals attorneys Jessica Gustafson and Abby Pendleton join us to go over the newest program to come out of OMHA – the third phase of the Settlement Conference Facilitation Pilot.

The Mayans accurately predicted the end of Twinkies and the end of Healthcare Reimbursement as we knew it… See, 1599 came out in early 2013, so that was pretty close, yes?
We will go over the Pilot itself, as well as review some of the slides from the OMHA forum, describing some of the changes being made at OMHA, including a new Provider Portal, which will make it easier for all of us to file more ALJ appeals and perpetuate the backlog that has no end in sight and… well, you know.
So, it turns out the Mayans weren’t that far off when they predicted an apocalypse in late December 2012. The planning for CMS-1599F, the source of the Two-Midnight Rule, was being finalized then, and then certainly started all this mess in mid-2013. Not bad, Mayans!
In our show, we will discuss these subjects:
- How close the Mayans came to predicting the End
- The changes OMHA is making in their own agency
- The statistics they showed at the Forum
- The details of the SCF Phase III
Also, you can find my partial recording of the OMHA presentation AND the OMHA Powerpoint slides on the Aorta Forum.
So listen in, share your own insights and bring your questions for us!
