SSRK’s healthcare litigation team challenged the validity of the audit sampling methodology used by Medicare contractor, AdvanceMed, and convinced the ALJ to invalidate the result. The ALJ found, through our expert’s proof, that AdvanceMed actually departed from its own software (RAT-STATS) requirements by distributing the audit sample across payment strata in a manner that overstated high-paying claims and understated low-paying claims. The ALJ threw out the extrapolation transforming a $2.5 million case into a $52,000 case, which was then whittled down to $11,000. This result is very significant because AdvanceMed uses the same methodology in a majority of its recoupment determinations.
