Find Revenue You Did Not Know You Were Losing
CureMed's billing audits dig into your claims data to uncover underpayments, coding errors, missed charges, and compliance gaps. You get a clear breakdown of where revenue is leaking and a concrete plan to recover it.
Most Practices Are Losing Revenue Without Knowing It
Billing errors, undercoding, missed charges, and payer underpayments accumulate quietly over time. Without regular audits, the losses compound.
- 5 to 10%
of practice revenue is lost annually due to coding errors, missed charges, and billing inefficiencies that go undetected without a formal audit.
- 30%
of claims contain errors that reduce reimbursement, including undercoding, incorrect modifiers, and missed billable services.
- $125K+
is the average annual cost of employing one in-house billing specialist. An audit often recovers more than that cost in the first review alone.
A billing audit is not about finding blame. It is about finding money your practice has already earned but never collected.
How Our Billing Audit Works
A structured, five-step review from data collection to actionable recovery plan.
- 01
Data Collection & Scoping
We gather claims data, remittance records, payer contracts, and coding reports. You define the scope: full practice, specific payers, or targeted date ranges.
- 02
Claims & Coding Analysis
Our audit team reviews claim submissions for coding accuracy, modifier usage, charge capture completeness, and documentation alignment.
- 03
Payer Reimbursement Review
We compare actual payments against contracted rates to identify underpayments, incorrect adjustments, and missed contractual obligations.
- 04
Compliance & Risk Assessment
We evaluate coding patterns for compliance risk, upcoding exposure, and documentation gaps that could trigger payer audits.
- 05
Findings Report & Action Plan
You receive a detailed report quantifying lost revenue, identifying root causes, and providing a prioritized action plan for recovery and prevention.
Most audits are completed within 2 to 3 weeks. Preliminary findings are available within 72 hours.
What's Included in a CureMed Billing Audit
A comprehensive review covering every stage of your revenue cycle where money can be lost.
Coding Accuracy Review
Line-by-line analysis of CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS code assignments to identify undercoding, overcoding, and missed billable services.
Charge Capture Analysis
Cross-referencing scheduled appointments, clinical documentation, and submitted claims to find services that were delivered but never billed.
Modifier Compliance Check
Review of modifier usage across all claims to identify patterns causing denials, downcoding, or bundling rejections.
Underpayment Detection
Comparison of actual reimbursements against payer contract rates to identify systematic underpayments and incorrect adjustments.
Denial Pattern Analysis
Root cause breakdown of denial trends by payer, procedure, and denial reason code to identify preventable patterns.
Compliance Risk Assessment
Evaluation of coding patterns for regulatory risk, including potential upcoding flags, documentation gaps, and audit exposure.
Payer Contract Review
Analysis of fee schedules and reimbursement terms to ensure your contracts reflect current market rates and are being honored by payers.
Actionable Recovery Report
A prioritized report with specific dollar amounts recoverable, root causes identified, and step-by-step recommendations for prevention.

Most practices leak between 8 and 12 percent of collectible revenue

Missed modifiers
Modifier 25, 59 and 79 dropped from claims that would have been paid separately.
