The objective of a CODING AUDIT is to enable a practice to -

• Code, charge, and file claims in such a way for OPTIMAL REIMBURSEMENT
• Ensure that ALL SERVICES provided are rendered
• Ensure that the practice is COMPLIANT with policies and regulations

A CODING AUDIT brings a Coding/Reimbursement specialist in to ensure that the entire coding-billing-reimbursement-documentation process reveals that -

• Services are coded correctly
• The practice is compliant with Medicare and private payors
• The practice bills for all the (billable) services
• Documentation supports the codes used

A CODING AUDIT includes a written report and a follow-up audit with instructions for correcting any detected problems.  This will be presented by the Coding/Reimbursement Specialist, at which time all areas of review will be discussed in detail.  Hands-on training for both physicians and staff is an option.

The CODING AUDIT SERVICE is provided by Coding/Reimbursement specialists who are Certified Professional Coders. These specially trained individuals -

• Review all of the activities involved in the reimbursement system and process (charging, pricing, claim filing, claim tracking, EOB documentation, etc.)
• Spend time with each key staff person, providing immediate, hands-on training
• Provide individual consultation to physicians
• Gather data, materials and information from your office to complete our study

We also offer specially priced audits for those offices who may only desire to have an audit with a report of findings mailed back to them. 

Please feel free to call our office at 1-800-635-4040 regarding this or any other service offered by our department.  We would be pleased to prepare a proposal for your organization.  You may also contact us by e-mail:  coding@drsmgmt.com
