How do I deal with an audit?


It’s important to know that in the behavioral healthcare industry there is a high possibility that you will be audited. However, there are steps you can take to be prepared. During an audit, reimbursement is held (or suspended) from the payer. Therefore, it is pertinent that your facility consistently maintains accurate and complete records for clinical and financial accuracy. Upon receipt of an audit, you must contact your billing company, or, if you do not have a billing company you must contact the payer to ensure that you submit exactly what they are requiring from your facility. This submission of records must be done quickly, and in any format they require. The easier your records are to understand, the faster the audit will be completed.
