3.2 Provider Compliance Responsibility
While MeBilling's services are designed to support compliant billing practices and our staff are trained in applicable coding and billing rules, the ultimate responsibility for compliance with healthcare billing laws rests with the covered entity provider and practice. MeBilling acts as a Business Associate performing services at the direction of its covered entity clients. The accuracy of underlying clinical documentation, the appropriateness of ordered services, the employment of non-excluded providers, and the overall compliance of the practice are the Client's responsibilities.
MeBilling strongly recommends that all healthcare practices engaging third-party billing services maintain their own internal compliance programme, designate a compliance officer, conduct regular coding audits, and consult qualified healthcare counsel on legal and regulatory questions specific to their situation.
3.3 Regulatory Changes
Healthcare billing regulations, payer policies, and coding guidelines change frequently — often mid-year. While MeBilling makes reasonable efforts to stay current with applicable rules and to update our services accordingly, this website and its content may not reflect the most recent regulatory changes at all times. Website content should not be relied upon as a current statement of applicable law or payer policy. Verify critical regulatory information with primary sources or qualified legal counsel.
No Attorney-Client or Professional Relationship
Visiting this website, reading its content, or contacting MeBilling for information does not create an attorney-client relationship, a healthcare provider-patient relationship, or any professional services engagement. MeBilling does not provide legal, medical, or financial advice through its website, and no content on this website should be treated as such.
An engagement with MeBilling for revenue cycle management services only arises upon execution of a written Service Agreement signed by authorised representatives of both parties. Until such an agreement is executed, MeBilling has no obligations to any visitor or prospective client beyond those required by applicable law.
