Compliance Update
On December 19, 2006 we notified all employees of the Deficit Reduction Act's requirement to advise all employees  on what is fraud and train all employees on the Federal & State requirements. At that time, we referred to Administrative Policy No. 160 and the MAPIL and SURS rules that are posted on our Intranet. Medicaid is still reviewing claims for undocumented services, medical necessity, record keeping, upcoding, unbundling, etc., so it is very important to remind your employees to only bill for services rendered and fully document those services.

Woman's Hospital's employees have a duty to report any questionable acts to their supervisor, anyone in their chain of command or to the Woman's Hotline, 225-924-8757 without fear of retaliation. Callers may report issues anonymously. Other hotlines are the CMS/OIG hotline (800-447-8477) and the Louisiana Medicaid Fraud Control Unit Hotline (800-488-2917).

John Fox, author and certified poetry therapist, was the guest speaker at the tenth annual Women Living with Cancer lecture and luncheon. His talk focused on helping the attendees explore the power of writing to heal. 

Fox is the author of two books: Poetic Medicine: The Healing Art of Poem-Making and Finding What You Didn’t Lose: Expressing Your Truth and Creativity Through Poem-Making. He has presented at Stanford University, Harvard University and at universities, hospitals and companies around the world.  He is featured in a film to be aired on PBS this year called Healing Words, Poetry and the Art of Medicine. This film follows the path of patients, physicians and poets as they explore the power of the written word.

Robin Maggio welcomed the guests and Sue Rainer, Women's Victory Open honorary chair, discussed her personal experience with cancer and why educational programs like these are important. The speaker and lunch was sponsored by Women’s Victory Open. Women’s Victory Open is the premier women’s charity golf event in Louisiana.
