About Webinar Planet
Webinar Planet is an online training platform that provides most affordable and updated information, knowledge, updates, regulations to professionals across industries.
Healthcare is one of the most regulated and complex industries that exist. The government contracts with various private companies called Unified Program Integrity Contractors (UPICs), Recovery Audit Contractors (RACs), and Zone Program Integrity Contractors (ZPICs) to conduct various functions including (not limited to): investigating potential fraud and abuse, performing medical reviews, performing data analysis, identifying outliers and areas that require further investigation, suspending program payments, coordinating efforts with other UPICs/RACs/ZPICs, making referrals to law enforcement, etc.
UPICs/RACs/ZPICs work on behalf of CMS to perform program integrity functions like detecting fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA) through sophisticated data mining and analysis. They operate as an extension of the government and have unique authority to suspend payments immediately.
