What is a Medical Billing Audit?
A medical billing audit is a systematic examination of the medical claims submitted by healthcare providers to insurance companies. The goal is to verify that the claims are properly coded, submitted, and reimbursed in accordance with payer guidelines, federal regulations, and industry standards.
Why is a Medical Billing Audit Important?
Ensure Compliance: Prevent potential issues with healthcare regulations and payer requirements.
Maximize Reimbursement: Identify underpayments and overpayments to recover lost revenue and reduce future claim denials.
Fraud Prevention: Detect fraudulent billing practices, including upcoding or unbundling, to avoid costly penalties.
Improve Operational Efficiency: Streamline billing procedures and improve cash flow through more accurate and timely claims submissions.
