5 Reasons Why Our Auditing Services are

Important to the Medical Healthcare Field

Medical auditing refers to the act of conducting reviews on the policies

and procedures of health organizations as well as coding accuracy.

These reviews are both internal and external and ensure the

organization is within compliance.

Auditing is usually performed by a third-party consulting firm such as

IdeaCentre HIM Solutions and can be performed retrospectively or

prospectively. Moreover, the auditor will review the medical records

thoroughly for an organization and make a comparison with previous

results to reflect in reports.


Benefits of IdeaCentre Auditing Services

When a fault, risk, or inactive control is identified in the system, steps should be

taken to repair the problem; this is where an IdeaCentre auditor comes in.

Auditing is a continuous form of risk assessment used to determine the condition

of the organizational system, measure its faults and shortcomings, and provide a

solution that will improve the quality.

Our auditing helps to assist medical practices and healthcare organizations in

various ways some include:

1. Helping to Identify Inaccurate Coding

One importance of medical auditing is that it helps an organization to identify and

discover any faults in its system. Therefore, our job as an auditor is to be capable

of reviewing ICD-10-CM /PCS, CPT codes, POA, HAC, PSI, discharge disposition to

ensure appropriate assignment of MS-DRG or APR-DRG.

2. Helping to Optimize Reimbursement

Another reason why it is necessary for medical practices to conduct audits

regularly is that it is essential to optimize reimbursement. On such occasions, the

organization can hire the services of our auditors to investigate and report their

findings while offering quality advice on the solution to the problem.

3. It Is Used to Protect Medical Practices Against Fraudulent Claims

Auditing also helps to monitor the flow of money within the organization. Our

auditors have the ability to assess the system’s coding and correct any problems

that may be challenged by higher authorities. This will, in turn, prevent the

further investigation from government auditors.

4. It Also Helps to Prevent the Use of Outdated and Incorrect Codes

for Procedures


Our auditors are also skilled in compliance. As HIM professionals, IdeaCentre

understands that internal and external reviews are the key to ensuring the proper

and adequate running of a health system.

5. We Help to Determine the Active and Inactive System Controls

Without conducting an audit, it will be impossible for an organization or medical

practice to monitor the system controls in order to identify those that work and

those which don’t. IdeaCentre auditors will also enable the organization to know

if it conforms with the rules and guidelines put in place by the government.

Conclusion

The importance of auditing in the medical field cannot be overemphasized.

Although such a proactive approach can be beneficial in various ways, it can

equally be daunting and exhausting. As a result, hiring a consulting firm like

IdeaCentre HIM Solutions will relieve this pressure because we aim to serve the

needs of your organization by receiving quality coding and auditing solutions from

our qualified and reliable professionals.
