Clinical Coding and Billing Audits
Our Payment Integrity Practice also offers remote and on-site coding and billing audits to review clinical coding and billing to monitor for fraud, abuse, waste and errors.
The clinical coding and billing audits ensure that:
- Clinical coding has been completed accurately using ICD-10-AM, ACHI and Australian Coding Standards
- DRG allocation is accurate
- All relevant certificates such as ICU/Mechanical Ventilation/SCN/Type B and Type C have been accurately completed and there is supporting documentation within the body of the medical record to support billing
- Prostheses have been correctly billed and recorded (including warranty issues)
- Billing is supported by the hospital admission policy
- Hospital medical record is complete and accurate
