A. Medical Audit & Compliance
Our Medical Audit and Compliance division works with corporates to conduct billing and coding audit and compliance program reviews throughout physician practices and specialty healthcare services.
Audit reviews focus on identifying and correcting problem areas before commercial or government payers challenge inappropriate coding or documentation. In cases of under-coding we advice on how to recoup revenue and educate staff on rectifying the process going forward. As applicable, the targeted training and ongoing reviews are set up based on these findings to potentially prevent a costly and time-consuming third-party payer audit.
A sample of our specialty expertise includes:
- Physician Specialties and their related ASCs - e.g., Dermatology, GI, ENT/Allergy, Infusion, OBGYN, Oncology, Ophthalmology, Pathology, Podiatry, Physical/Occupational Therapy, Radiology, Urgent Care, Urology
- Dental specialties – Pediatric Dental, Orthodontics, Adult, and Oral Surgery
- Mental Health specialties – Autism, Behavioral Health, Substance Abuse, Intellectual/Developmental Disability
- Home Health, Hospice, and DME

- Farragut delivers macro-political overviews and outlooks where our team presents key trends in healthcare and focused attention on each client’s marketplace.
