Coding Audit Program
Accurate and inaccurate coding practices have a direct impact on revenue, so it’s essential to establish a coding audit program. Coding audits may identify any areas of deficiency that can directly affect your profitability.
Regular coding audits are highly recommended to ensure your coding staff has a working knowledge of current coding guidelines. CCM will recommend an ideal audit frequency (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually) based upon results from an initial baseline audit.
A CCM Coding Audit Program will:
- Identify areas of coding deficiency.
- Provide detailed audit and summary reports.
- Explain variances and provide recommendations based on credible documentation.
- Serve as an educational tool for your coders.
- Meet or exceed your compliance objectives, as well as OIG requirements.
- Post-audit calls are available.
CCM has flexible pricing based on the frequency of the audit (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually) and the number of charts reviewed.
