ACCURATE’s Bill Review and Audit Service helps clients reduce costly billing errors and allows them to take control of costs by revealing duplicate charges, incorrectly calculated charges, and charges for services never rendered.
Through our pre-payment audit process, we identify auditable claims and then verify that billed services were ordered by the physician, rendered to the patient, and charged at appropriate rates. Oversight claims management can also be provided to assist with setting case reserves based on known medical conditions or diagnoses.
ACCURATE combines advanced technology with knowledgeable and experienced audit staff to maximize savings for clients. This approach consistently delivers higher savings than other bill review methodologies, as it utilizes the experience of highly trained examiners, coding specialists who apply their expertise and judgment to medical bills and an on-site Medical Director to review treatment protocols.
