It arrives. It requires a signature and its from the insurance company. Any office manager or insurance manager in the industry long enough knows what this means...the dreaded audit. Audits can be an incredibly stressful and scary time for any provider. Time, energy, man hours, paper, mind space on which chart you forgot to sign instead of focusing on the patient in front of you. However, be preemptive in this battle! The question of is not whether or not your office will be audited - it is WHEN will your office be audited. Small or large, everyone eventually hits some sort of audit. This does not mean you are a bad office or that you did anything wrong per se, its all about logistics and algorithms and sometimes your number is called. But, there are things you can do to make this situation easier when it arrives. First, prepare a mock audit. Be hard on your self. Designate an ethical individual in the office and randomly start reviewing charts to see what you find. Be your harshest critic and then implement safe guards against what you find. If you are having trouble getting started or need help with an audit, Triple B will perform an outside mock audit for your office to see where you stand. We are here to help!
