A medical billing audit is a review process that examines billing practices to ensure accuracy, compliance with regulations, and to identify potential errors or fraudulent claims.
It's recommended to perform audits annually or semi-annually, but the frequency can vary depending on the size of the practice and the complexity of billing operations.
Common issues include coding errors, missing or incomplete documentation, incorrect patient information, and non-compliance with payer requirements.
Ensure all records are up-to-date, regularly train staff on coding and billing practices, and implement internal auditing to catch potential issues before an external audit.
