My name is Melissa and I am a Compliance and Coding specialist in Salem, OR. I am trying to reach out to other compliance specialists/auditors to reveal an industry standard regarding external audits.
We are a professional billing organization and are responsible for coding multispecialties for professional charges. We are interested in finding out how often audits are being done by other similar groups, specifically external audits. Is there a compliance plan for professional coders in your organization to be audited on a yearly/biyearly schedule?
Our practice currently is biannual external audits for our coders and internal audits on coders as needed. We are looking to see if possibly yearly external audits are enough as we have ongoing internal audits if we find a problem.
Thank you for your help,
