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.
