In 2010, Cathy and her consulting team supported the MEDIC contract with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on the Health Plan Compliance Program Effectiveness Audits
In 2006 and again in 2008, Cathy helped revise the Hospital Payment Monitoring Program (HPMP) Compliance Workbook for the Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) community and 4000+ acute-care PPS hospitals. This workbook focuses on compliance issues related to inpatient hospital prospective payment system (PPS) payment error monitoring and prevention.
In addition to working with hospitals, academic medical centers, nursing homes and business associates, she has also worked with large health plans on reviewing and revising their compliance programs including assessing their compliance with HIPAA Privacy and Security. Her successful work with clients, in part, is attributed to her wealth of information on effective, practical implementation strategies.
Cathy Boerner is a frequent national speaker whose presentations include Auditing and Monitoring (including PEPPER reports), Compliance Risk Assessments, HITECH HIPAA Privacy & Security, Practical Approach to the OIG Work Plan and Compliance Program Effectiveness.
She contributed bi-monthly articles to the Journal of Health Care Compliance from 1999 - 2017, and currently authors the “Exhale” column in HCCA’s Compliance Today magazine monthly (since June 2015). Cathy Boerner also served on the National Association of Healthcare Revenue Integrity (NAHRI) Advisory Board from 2017-2020.
