What Is a Healthcare Compliance Audit?

A compliance audit ensures your organization has a compliance process that follows Anti-kickback, False Claims, Stark and other Federal laws and guidelines around patient care reimbursement. The auditor reveals discrepancies in your compliance efforts and recommends changes to help you improve compliance and operational efficiency.

Compliance auditing and monitoring are essential within the healthcare industry. Organizations must comply with federal and state regulations and internal policies to ensure patient safety and practice success. Incorporating compliance auditing into your compliance program helps keep your program effective.
