Sample cards
Four real cards from the deck, front and back, so you know exactly what you're getting before you buy:
What is a comprehensive (global) audit?
A broad review covering multiple aspects of a practice's coding, billing, and documentation across various services and providers.
Under the 2021 E/M guidelines for office/outpatient visits, what two factors determine the code level, aside from time?
The level of medical decision making (MDM), or total time spent on the date of the encounter.
What should happen after a compliance audit identifies an overpayment?
The organization should promptly investigate, correct the error, and generally repay identified overpayments to the payer within required timeframes.
Why should audit reports include only the personally identifiable information necessary for the review?
To protect patient privacy and limit compliance and legal exposure, consistent with the minimum necessary standard.
