Overview
Advanced Coding Audits to Ensure Compliance and Maximize Revenue
Our certified auditors deliver thorough coding audits to ensure accurate billing, regulatory compliance, and financial integrity. We apply proven methodologies to identify risks, improve coding practices, and safeguard revenue.
Regulatory Compliance and Risk Mitigation
We align audits with CMS, OIG priorities, HIPAA, HITECH, NCCI edits, and LCD/NCD guidelines. Our proactive auditing approach minimizes financial and legal risks caused by inaccurate claims.
Coding Accuracy and Error Identification
We uncover critical issues like upcoding, downcoding, modifier misuse, E/M level mismatches, and medical necessity gaps—helping you reduce denials and improve reimbursements.
Revenue Recovery and Optimization
Our retrospective and concurrent audits identify denial trends, under-coding, charge capture issues, and payer-specific inefficiencies to recover lost revenue and improve cash flow.
Tech-Enabled Auditing and Automation
We leverage analytics and automated tools for real-time error detection and risk mitigation, incorporating anomaly detection, documentation analysis, and compliance tracking.
Specialty-Specific Audits
We offer tailored audit programs across specialties such as primary care, surgery, radiology, anesthesia, behavioral health, and telemedicine to ensure compliant and optimized coding.
