Medicare Compliance Review of DePaul Health Center for 2012 and 2013 

DePaul Health Center (the Hospital) (operating in Bridgeton, Missouri) complied with Medicare billing requirements for 190 of the 204 inpatient and outpatient claims we reviewed. However, the Hospital did not fully comply with Medicare billing requirements for the remaining 14 claims (all of which were inpatient claims), resulting in overpayments of $81,000 for calendar years 2012 and 2013. These errors occurred primarily because the Hospital did not have adequate controls to prevent the incorrect billing of Medicare claims within the selected risk areas that contained errors.
