Do you want relief from worry about your upcoming CMS audit — by a Recovery Audit Contractor or a Medicaid Integrity Contractor?  Or relief from the everyday burden of coding your claims to insurance companies?  If so, you've come to the right place.  Our innovative audit and coding services save you time, money, and effort as they increase your practice's efficiency and profitability.

For your practice to be fully prepared for your upcoming CMS audit, you'll want to get a baseline audit of your documentation and your billing and coding practices.  In our baseline audit of your practice, we’ll identify areas in which you may need to make changes in advance of the official RAC audit.  The baseline audit can save you many thousands of dollars by eliminating problems before that official RAC audit.

Abbreviations.

• CMS = Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
• MSP = Medicare Secondary Payer, the term used when Medicare is not responsible for paying first

Questions.  You probably have questions like these about our RAC baseline audit service:

• What is RAC?
• How does RAC affect me?
• What’s the benefit of having you do a baseline audit?
• Why would I want a third party to conduct a baseline audit?  Why not wait for the official RAC audit?
• How does your audit service work?
• If my practice has a high volume of claims, can you audit more than 50 files?
• What if my state is not scheduled to roll out until a later date?
• What’s the incentive for us to have this baseline audit done now instead of later in the year or next year?
• If your baseline audit of my records is clean, how often should the audit be redone?  That is, when the RAC comes to perform the audit, how recent does our baseline audit need to be?
• If I have a baseline audit certificate, will I still be subject to the RAC audit?
• Where can I find more information about the RAC audits?
