Are Missing Modifiers or Outdated Codes Exposing You to Audits?

Protect your practice against payer clawbacks and compliance fines with comprehensive chart auditing by HealthNoVa’s certified coding specialists.

Protect Your Practice Against OIG and Payer Audits.

Healthcare providers face unprecedented regulatory scrutiny from Medicare Recovery Audit Contractors (RAC), the Office of Inspector General (OIG), and commercial payer auditors. Inaccurate modifier usage, unbundled CPT codes, and incomplete provider documentation can trigger severe financial clawbacks, civil monetary penalties, or immediate billing suspensions.

HealthNoVa shields your practice with proactive, thorough coding and compliance audits. Our certified auditors systematically review sample claims and provider chart notes to identify compliance exposure, fix systemic coding errors, and align your billing workflows strictly with federal guidelines and payer-specific Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs).

Eliminate Under-Coding and Maximize Compliant Reimbursement.

While over-coding creates audit risks, under-coding out of fear of non-compliance quietly drains your practice’s legitimate profits. Many providers routinely downcode evaluation and management (E&M) visits or skip minor billable procedures simply because they lack confidence in their documentation or complex modifier rules.

We bridge the gap between clinical documentation and maximum allowable reimbursement. Our coding review identifies under-billed services and missing modifiers – such as Modifier 25 or 59 – ensuring you capture every dollar earned without ever compromising compliance integrity.

Comprehensive Coding Audit & Compliance Services

We audit, review, and optimize every aspect of your clinical documentation and medical coding to ensure absolute audit-readiness.

In-depth reviews of medical records, superbills, and EHR encounter notes conducted by certified professional medical auditors (CPMAs).

Verification of accurate code specificity, current annual code set revisions, and correct primary versus secondary ICD-10 diagnostic sequencing.

Rigorous evaluation of modifier applications (e.g., 25, 59, XE/XS/XP/XU, 22, 26/TC) to prevent unbundling rejections and audit triggers.

Assessment of provider medical decision-making (MDM) and time documentation under current CMS E&M coding guidelines to prevent upcoding or downcoding.

Tailored feedback reports and documentation coaching for clinical staff to improve chart note specificity and support billable services.

Implementation of formal corporate compliance plans, regular internal auditing schedules, and corrective action protocols to mitigate regulatory exposure.

How often should a medical practice perform a coding and compliance audit?

Industry best practices and CMS compliance guidelines recommend conducting a comprehensive coding review at least annually, as well as whenever new providers are onboarded or major coding/payer policy updates take effect.

What is the difference between a prospective audit and a retrospective audit?

A prospective audit reviews claims before they are submitted to payers to prevent rejections or overpayments. A retrospective audit examines claims after payment has been rendered to evaluate historical accuracy, compliance risks, and potential under-billing trends.

How do you handle modifier 25 and modifier 59 compliance?

Modifiers 25 (significant, separately identifiable E&M service) and 59 (distinct procedural service) are heavily scrutinized by auditors. We review provider clinical documentation to verify that distinct services are explicitly detailed, preventing unbundling recoupments while ensuring rightful payment.

Will a coding audit slow down our daily claim submission workflow?

Not at all. We conduct audits using dedicated sampling methodologies or integrated pre-bill auditing protocols that operate seamlessly in the background without causing delays to your daily claims processing or cash flow.
