On today’s NSCHBC Edge Podcast, Terry speaks with healthcare attorney and fellow NSCHBC member, Ericka Adler, to identify suspected theft in a medical practice.

Terry and Ericka discuss how to identify and prevent theft, plus educate your staff and providers so you are aware of potential red flags.

Some areas to focus on include cash handling, prescription drug inventory, and billing practices. The hosts also talk about what to do if you find suspicious activity, how you can further investigate with the use of proper documentation, and the potential involvement of external auditors or legal counsel.
