MO HealthNet Audit Overview

An audit is typically concerning to providers. In this webinar, Missouri Medicaid Audit & Complaince (MMAC) Director Dale Carr will provide an overview of his unit’s functions and useful information about MMAC audits and official request for information. Dale Carr will dispel some myths and explain the most common reasons why dental providers are selected for a desk or on-site audit, or asked to provide documentation for a single claim.
