Verification of Central Vermont Medical Center's Refund of Place-of-Service Overpayments for Calendar Years 2007-2010

We determined that the Hospital submitted 17,728 claims with overpayments totaling approximately $237,000 for physician services for CYs 2007 through 2010. The Hospital, billing on behalf of its physicians, incorrectly coded these claims by using nonfacility place-of-service codes for services that were performed in one of the Hospital's outpatient facilities.
