What a Medical Billing Audit Means and Why It's Important
A medical billing audit is basically a detailed review of how your practice handles billing, coding, and payments. It's about making sure every service you provide is documented correctly and billed the right way so you don't miss anything important. Running audits on a regular basis gives you real peace of mind: you'll know you're getting paid what you should be, and you're following all the rules from CMS, HIPAA, and insurance companies.

Denial Management Analysis
What’s your denial rate lately? Look at the top 2–3 reasons claims get kicked back, spot the pattern, and fix one thing this month to start dropping that percentage.
