Accurate coding, documentation crucial to healthcare
NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hayes Management Consulting announced that its MDaudit™ software user group meeting on May 2 in Las Vegas, NV focused on best practices for healthcare coding review and clinical documentation improvement. MDaudit Hospital and its counterpart for physician practices, MDaudit Professional, are used by healthcare organizations to mitigate risk, increase audit production, and increase accurate coding through root cause analysis. The services of more than 60,000 providers are currently reviewed by MDaudit. Eight of the top ten organizations listed in US News and World Report’s “Honor Roll” of top US hospitals are MDaudit clients.
“Billing compliance auditors are faced with mounting requests for physician audit data from external auditing agencies such as RACs, MACs and others,” says Pete Butler, Hayes’ President and CEO. “To keep up with this volume and ensure risk reduction and correct reimbursement, many are utilizing the audit automation features in MDaudit.”
User group meeting attendees shared their best practices, including how to monitor trends and target physicians who need the most education on coding and documentation.
“I am able to devote more of my time to physician education,” said one user, “which will help prevent errors in the first place. This becomes more important as we get nearer to ICD-10.”
“I love MDaudit so much, I could hug it,” said another participant.
