How to Protect Your Physician Clients
If you are a healthcare attorney with a physician client who is facing a post-payment, medical necessity carrier review, a third-party audit can prove to be an invaluable resource.
Carriers are using medical necessity of services provided as the basis for their audits at an alarming rate. It’s important to remember that the individual who performed the audit of your client is an employee of the carrier. This may seem obvious, however, given this fact it is imperative to question whether an employee of the organization seeking recoupment can perform an audit that is truly unbiased.
Giving your client the benefit of an independent audit performed by an experienced medical auditor, not only levels the playing field, but can offset the cost by the potential appeal and reconsideration made viable through the independent review process.
A third-party auditor with experience in supporting defense cases will clarify whether the carrier’s audit is truly unbiased.
