Billing and Coding Practices Our Audit Services Report

Upcoding

Billing for a more complex service than provided can trigger audits and fines. We detect and correct upcoding to protect your revenue and compliance.

Downcoding

Undercoding results in revenue loss for services actually provided. Our audits ensure accurate code levels so you don’t get underpaid.

Unbundling

 Separating services that should be billed as a package inflates charges. We identify and fix unbundling to prevent payer penalties.

Fraudulent Billing

Incorrect or fabricated claims can result in license revocation. We identify and mitigate fraud risks before they harm your reputation.

Incorrect Modifiers

Missing or incorrect modifiers result in claim rejections. We verify all modifiers used to secure faster, full payments.

Old Terminologies

Using outdated codes or terms can delay or deny claims. We align your coding with current CPT, ICD-10, and payer guidelines.

Duplicate Billing

Charging twice for the same service often flags your claims for audits. We catch duplicates to keep your billing clean and trusted.

HIPAA Compliance

Improper data handling puts you at legal risk. We audit for HIPAA violations to safeguard your patient info and avoid costly breaches.
