Auditing Services

Inpatient audits can be targeted by DRGs, a time period or a specific clinical condition such as heart failure. Outpatient audits can focus on Lab, Radiology, Observation, Ambulatory Surgery, Emergency Room, ER E/M for Professional, or ER E/M for Facility. Our audits will validate the quality and accuracy of coding assignments with any trends identified and reported.

Our revenue integrity solutions review the coding and clinical documentation for compliance with applicable CMS regulations and guidance with consideration of your hospital’s specific coding policies.

The BESLER auditing and compliance review will identify areas for process and documentation improvements that will help ensure successful reimbursement under the Medicare Prospective Payment System.

The audit includes a written summary report of the findings as well as a call to reconcile any questions related to the audit findings. On-site education is available at an additional cost.
