Chart Auditing Services
Be Sure Your Practice is Paid Accurately for Your Efforts
Chart audits provide an unbiased look at your practice’s coding activity. Our auditors can readily identify instances of incorrect coding and other sub-optimal coding practices.
Auditing That Serves Your Practice’s Best Interest
The word “audit” may send chills down the spine of any practice owner, but independent chart auditing of documentation and codes billed are the best way to safeguard your practice from liability.
Scrutiny from payers and federal regulatory agencies is only growing, but independent chart audits keep coding and billing errors in check.
Our independent chart auditing services are like preventative care for your medical records; giving your organization the foresight and resources it needs to proactively fix errors before a government audit sees them first.
Identifying errors isn’t just about avoiding liability; they uncover missed revenue opportunities
Fix Problems with Your Practice’s Records Before They Become a Compliance Risk
With documentation and coding issues, it’s much better for errors to be found by an independent auditor rather than a government agency or payer.
The False Claims Act holds the physician and group practice liable for false claims, as well as any related discrepancies in billing. As with any law, ignorance is no excuse. When it comes to civil penalties and prosecution, it doesn’t matter if “you didn’t know”.
Chart auditing plays a significant role in determining the quality and integrity of a medical practice’s operations. A comprehensive review by our certified auditors will assess the accuracy and compliance of your organization’s coding and billing activity compared to all current rules, regulations, and guidelines.
Identifying Coding Inaccuracies Before
They Lead to Revenue Loss
Medical chart audits help improve coding accuracy by identifying errors, like instances of undercoding and overcoding.
While undercoding can lead to revenue loss, which is already consequential enough, frequent overcoding can mean sizable fines and payment retractions, even if it was an honest mistake.
An independent medical chart audit conducted by skilled certified professional auditors can quickly identify inaccurate coding, recommending solutions to fix it as soon as possible.
