Navigating the Growing Threat of CMS UPIC Audits: Key Insights from Our Expert Webinar

UPIC audits are becoming one of the most formidable tools in CMS’ enforcement arsenal. As these audits continue to grow in scope, frequency, and financial impact, healthcare providers—and their legal counsel—must be better equipped to handle the challenges they present.

In our recent webinar, “Inside the UPIC Audit: Real Cases, Real Consequences,” industry experts Jon B. Rawlson, Founder & President of Armory Hill Advocates, and Jennifer Weaver, Partner at Holland & Knight, broke down what makes UPIC audits different—and more dangerous—than typical CMS program integrity measures.

Using real-world case studies, they walked attendees through the entire UPIC audit lifecycle, from covert data mining and initial targeting to aggressive investigative tactics and the complex five-step appeals process. The speakers also provided tactical guidance on:

• Building a cross-functional audit response team

• Recognizing and leveraging policy patterns to anticipate CMS shifts

• Defending against multimillion-dollar recoupments and preemptive payment suspensions
