MedCom Solutions has patented tools that can help reduce the likelihood of these costly settlements and the violations that cause them, and you can read more about them at the bottom of the page. In the meantime, here are…

MedCom Solutions designs groundbreaking software that improves the processing of medical billing record information and ensures compliance. Failure to refund invoices paid by Medicare for the outpatient portion of a patient’s encounter under the 3 Day Window can result in a federal false claims act liability under 31 U.S.C. § 3729 (a) (1).
MedCom Solutions DRG Window Auditor™ uncovers 3 Day Window overpayments by auditing the providers’ 835 Remittance Advice. This software can be used as a reasonable diligence effort to identify potential overpayments by way of Medicare’s 3 Day Rule.
