title: The ABCs of physician billing compliance plans.
abstract: As it evolves, an organization's compliance plan will become an effective risk-management tool. As the price for noncompliance becomes ever higher, the development and implementation of a corporate compliance plan makes both common and fiscal sense. A compliance plan should not be a program that is rolled out and then allowed to sit on the shelf and gather dust. The only thing worse than not having a compliance plan is having one and not following it.
