Overview:

We will explore auditing surgical procedures for physician services.

Scoring sample documents will be reviewed with a “how to” audit surgical records.

You Will Learn:

  • Minor vs. Major Surgical Procedures

Auditing whether done internally or externally takes a different skill set than what we are currently using as coders. Focus must be shifted from the code assignment to taking a global look at the documentation for all relevent information to maintain compliance in our practices. With the focus on OIG, RAC, HEAT and Payer audits you need to learn what goes into a successful audit to help protect your practice for the future.
