Healthcare organizations often face staffing shortages in their revenue cycle, adding to the pressure of ensuring proper claims processing. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) have increased audits to reduce improper payments, using predictive modeling and artificial-intelligence (AI) tools. Risk-based audits rose by 28 percent and prospective audits by 32 percent in 2022.

To ease the burden on revenue cycle management (RCM) teams, a combination of automation, analytics tools, and denial management software can be used for hybrid audits, reducing denials and increasing reimbursements. During the next live edition of Monitor Mondays, Ritesh Ramesh, CEO for MDaudits, will report on how, by leveraging people and technology, internal audits can be conducted faster, errors caught earlier, and staff can focus more on training and optimizing revenue.

Broadcast segments will also include these instantly recognizable features:

  • Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, vice president of R1 RCM, will make his Monday rounds.

  • The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullen, will report the latest news about auditors.
