This document discusses the importance of conducting regular self-audits of medical billing practices. Self-audits help to identify compliance issues, coding errors, and other problems that could result in audits from payers. The document recommends conducting quarterly self-audits and reviewing items like codes, charges, and the appropriateness of care. Medical practices are advised to assign roles for the self-audit, review a sample of records, and use the results to improve accuracy through staff education. An outside company is also offered to help practices design and implement effective self-audit programs.
