Entrance Conference

60.2 – Entrance Conference (Rev. 107, Issued: 09-22-06; Effective: 10-01-06; Implementation: 10-02-06) The entrance conference is an important step in the audit process as it sets the tone for the entire audit. The entrance conference serves to enhance communications between the contractor and the provider by covering a wide variety of issues. At a minimum, the participants at the entrance conference should consist of the Medicare auditors who will perform the audit, all appropriate provider personnel (controller, provider liaison, accountants, cost report preparers), and provider consultants (if provider desires).
