RAC and other audits at the ALJ level..who represents you on appeal? Does everyone have physicians?
I have several ALJ hearings today and its not only that I get distressed that I have to represent our side (along with HIM) but I feel like we are at a great disadvantage without having a physician representative. (Obviously, as I am not a doctor and although I have a lot to contribute, its not a fair "fight") Just wondering how everyone else handles ALJ appeals and who is responsible for going toe to toe with the docs at these levels.
