Verification of Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center's Refund of Place-of-Service Overpayments for Calendar Years 2007 Through 2009

We determined that Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center (the Hospital) submitted claims with overpayments totaling $122,000 for physician services for calendar years 2007 through 2009. The Hospital, billing on behalf of its physicians, incorrectly coded these claims by using nonfacility place-of-service codes for services that actually were performed in one of the Hospital’s outpatient facilities.
