What does the auditor do?
The Medical Coding Auditor employed at the Physician’s office or Health Plan level understands the organizational strategy and operational objectives of the entity. Following established guidelines and procedures, a medical coding auditor will check medical coding and billing information for efficiency, accuracy, and compliance prior to submitting claims in order to prevent audit findings from external audits. The Professional Medical Coding Auditor provides physicians with specific education based on their quality monitoring of claim denials and healthcare trends.
The Medical Coding Auditor employed at the Federal Government Entity understands the organizational strategy and operational objectives of the medical practice, facility, and health plan. The Medical Coding Auditor will identify and fix incorrect and improper payments on claims that have already been submitted in a variety of healthcare settings. These auditors look for both overpayments and underpayments made to providers. They request medical records from providers to review claims known to be at risk for containing errors. These high-demand professionals identify payments for medically unnecessary services, incorrectly coded services, services performed that were medically unnecessary, claims not supported by documentation, duplicate claims, and claims filed primarily to Medicare when Medicare was secondary, and in the process, also uncover quite a bit of fraud. These upper-level auditors are paid a percentage of what they recover.
You’ll get a tenfold return on investment with this certification!
