How Our Auditing Process Works

First, we pull a sample of charts based on your specialty and risk areas. Next, our certified coders compare the codes you billed against the clinical documentation. Then we measure accuracy for diagnosis codes, procedure codes and modifiers. Finally, you receive a written report that lists each finding, the coding rationale and the education your team needs. In addition, our audits follow the compliance program elements that the HHS Office of Inspector General recommends, so the results also support your own compliance plan.

For example, when an audit shows a training gap, our online medical coding training can help close it. To schedule an audit, simply request a consultation and tell us about your organization.
