Scenario: You are an HIM intern at a large physician group practice that is considering replacing its IT system for practice management and electronic health records.

In addition, Dr. X and the physician staff would like to learn more about fraud detection and what processes should be implemented with the new system to detach fraudulent practices. He specifically mentioned that he would like to learn about Whistleblowers, STARK, Anti-Kickback, unbundling, and upcoding.
