If You Think Clean Claims Mean You're Safe, You're Already Exposed

Billing systems can make a claim look clean. But payer algorithms don't care what your dashboard says. They're trained to spot patterns of abuse, frequency, and risk not spelling errors.

Let's get brutally honest. You submitted the claim, the EMR showed no errors, the clearinghouse passed it through, the payer reimbursed. Everything seems fine until it isn't. Payers don't flag every bad claim. They accumulate statistical patterns, watch your billing habits over time, and then strike with:

  • Prepayment audits
  • Post-payment recoupments
  • Medical necessity reviews
  • Payer-led extrapolations

We simulate payer behavior using compliance datasets, denial pattern models, and CMS audit criteria then tear through your claims like a RAC auditor would.

The Real Problem with Clean Claims:

Coding redundancy

Same procedures billed repeatedly across visits without variation-triggering utilization reviews.

Modifier misuse

Modifiers 25, 59, and 91 are the top 3 abused in U.S. billing and the most aggressively tracked by MACs.

E/M exaggerations

Spikes in high level E/Ms without complexity justification = audit bait.

Thin documentation

Claims billed without correlating HPI, time documentation, or medical necessity = immediate red flag.

Why Our Medical Billing and Coding Auditors Are Trained to Think Like Payers

Anyone can check for typos. We reverse-engineer your claim the same way CMS, MACs, and commercial payers do because your revenue depends on how they see it, not how your software does.

Our auditing process doesn't start with your billing software. It starts with payer behavior modeling, which breaks down the exact triggers that cause denials, post-payment reviews, or full-blown RAC audits.

Our team combines AI anomaly detection with manual forensic coding analysis, enabling us to identify discrepancies that your internal teams (and your EMR) may miss.

Future-Facing Billing Audits for Hospitals

Most hospital finance teams review claims like forensic accountants-after the money's gone. But in 2025, CMS and commercial payers are playing a predictive game.

They're watching volume surges, diagnosis-to-CPT irregularities, and modifier stacking trends and they're not sending warnings.

Our billing audits for hospitals flip your process from reactive to predictive so you can see denials coming and outmaneuver them before the payer locks you into pre-pay reviews or worse.

Identify Revenue Exposure

We begin by selecting a sample of your most financially impactful claims either high-denial areas, high-volume CPTs, or flagged provider activity. Our team identifies where coding, documentation, or modifier usage may be putting revenue or compliance at risk.

Key deliverable: Pre-audit risk scan, mapped to payer denial patterns and CMS edit logic.
Document Icon

Audit with Dual-Lens Accuracy

Each selected claim undergoes two levels of review:

  1. Automated detection using proprietary rules-based software
  2. Manual audit by certified coders with payer-side and specialty-specific expertise

We don't rely on systems alone-our audits capture context, not just code errors.

Key deliverable: Claim-level audit score with compliance notes and coding justification.

Deliver Actionable Remediation Plans

You receive a prioritized report outlining:

  • Financial impact of identified issues
  • Suggested corrections for each claim
  • Documentation enhancement recommendations
  • Modifier usage guidelines by payer policy

No noise. Just high-impact actions that protect revenue moving forward.

Key deliverable: Interactive audit report with recovery roadmap.

Implement & Monitor Results

We help you implement corrections across your internal teams or external billing partner, then monitor outcomes over the next 30-90 days.

Ongoing audits track denial reduction, recovery velocity, and documentation improvements.

Key deliverable: Post-audit impact report with measurable KPIs (denial rate, revenue lift, compliance confidence score)
