Simplify. Streamline. Save time.
Managing the audit process is no easy task. Coordinating medical records requests, document submissions, denials, appeals, reporting, and financial adjustments puts a strain on resources across the organization. The process quickly can become cumbersome and time consuming. Adding to this is the pending next phase of RAC audits and its accompanying challenges: compliance, further investments in time and resources, and an increase in overall costs to manage the process.
Between health care reform and day-to-day workloads, the obstacles are mounting every day. Are you prepared to successfully navigate them with ease?
