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 It Also Helps to Prevent the Use of Outdated and Incorrect Codes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