: How much do you charge to create compliance plans?
: Cmporter82 January 23, 2013, 12:02:11 PM
Just curious, but I have a new provider that I am going to develop a compliance plan for and I am not really sure what the average charge would be for something like this.

Any input is appreciated!

Thank you!

First you should understand you will need to develop this "on site".  You will spend a lot of time in their office and even shadowing staff. You have to assess all the possible risks and and method's to which it will be corrected. The average time to do one the right way can be anywhere from one week to a month, it depends on the practice. Certainly some things can be worked on at your office outside their's but the MAJORITY of work is spent in their office.  I charge consulting rates (hourly) for this and include travel and reporting if needed. My hourly rate will vary depending on location. I also include a week of compliance training because you do have to incorporate compliance officer(s) and to do that you have to really dig in :)
