M-Audits is a Healthcare
Services Auditing Company that helps employers with cost containment
measures. We work with you to help you take control of your benefit
plans utilizing the M-Audits Medical
Bill Review System to assure that claims are properly
billed. Our system combines the experience of highly skilled nurse
reviewers and state-of-the-art medical billing software to achieve lower
claim costs and improved claims payment accuracy on both hospital and
physician bills. As a result of our thorough review, M-Audits has an extremely low appeal rate for
audited claims.
Simply reviewing hospital claims alone does not always address billing
errors and overcharges at a level necessary to uncover most
discrepancies. Most TPA’s and Employers do not challenge the
accuracy of hospital bills, which results in higher claims expense and
increased insurance costs. For this reason, the M-Audits system reviews medical records, audits
each line of the supporting hospital claim itemization, identifies, and
adjusts for inaccurately billed items, and provides clients with savings
when appropriate.
M-Audits helps entities such
as self-funded employers, insurance companies and re-insurers reduce costs
by:
Reviewing physician bills for
overpayments
Auditing hospital bills
and physician bills prior to payment
Deflecting
payment of incorrect bills prior to claim adjudication.
M-Audits relies on coding
guidelines published by the American Medical Association, using industry
standards for ‘usual and customary’ charges. M-Audits is a member of the Medical Billing
Advocates of America (MBAA) whose mission is to contain costs by requiring
providers to submit proper bills.
M-Audits is
committed to helping you control your medical expenses by making sure that
you pay only for charges that are reasonable and accurate.
M-Audits routinely examines
hospital bills for inappropriate charges, such as unbundling of
codes, up-coding of charges, and more. These items have proven
to be a major contributor to rising healthcare costs.
The savings generated from these audits is a significant savings
to your bottom line and helps to maintain the financial
stability of your health plan. |
