Pre-Exit Conference

60.10 – Pre-Exit Conference (Rev. 107, Issued: 09-22-06; Effective: 10-01-06; Implementation: 10-02-06) Conduct a pre-exit conference on the last day that the audit team is conducting the fieldwork or the date established at the entrance conference. Give the provider a copy of all the tentative audit adjustments and working papers (where requested by the provider) including those being proposed due to lack of documentation and discuss all the tentative adjustments that the provider wishes to go over. Also, give the provider a written list of any outstanding documentation that you requested but have not received to date. Inform the provider to furnish your audit staff with the additional documentation within 4 weeks. Establish an exit conference date that will allow up to 8 weeks (or longer if you can document extenuating circumstances) from the end of the 4 week period given to the provider to provide additional documentation. See Exhibit V in §170 of this chapter for a sample pre-exit conference format.
