Claim accuracy
Review selected claim outcomes, rejection/denial patterns and follow-up history.
Revenue-cycle diagnostic review
Find the billing problem before deciding how to fix it.
A billing audit helps a practice look across claims, denials, aging, payments, adjustments and workflow patterns to identify where revenue may be delayed, underpaid or lost. CareMedox uses the audit as a diagnostic process—not as a reason to automatically replace the practice’s current team or system.
Claim and CPT analysis
Denial, aging and collection review
Action-oriented findings and recommendations
Why this matters
Revenue leakage is often distributed across many small workflow errors.
A practice may have acceptable total collections while still carrying repeated denials, aging claims, missed charges, posting gaps, underpayments or weak follow-up. An audit brings those signals together so leadership can see which issues are isolated and which are structural.
Coding/service patterns
Analyze CPT/service trends when data supports the review and identify areas needing deeper coding or reimbursement validation.
Aging & recovery
Look for unpaid high-value claims, payer delays and older balances that still have a workable path.
Workflow controls
Review posting, follow-up, reporting and schedule-to-billing gaps that may create hidden revenue loss.
Service scope
What CareMedox can manage
The exact audit scope depends on available data and the questions the practice wants answered.
Comprehensive claim review
Review representative or agreed claim inventory for outcome, status, denial and follow-up concerns.
CPT/service analysis
Identify service-level trends, payer patterns or unusual reimbursement/denial concentrations.
Denial & rejection analysis
Group recurring reasons and trace them back to eligibility, authorization, claim data, documentation or payer workflow.
Revenue recovery review
Examine aging, unpaid claims, possible underpayments and other recovery opportunities.
Payment posting review
Look for duplicate, incorrect, missing or unexplained posting adjustments that affect AR and reports.
Workflow assessment
Map the operating process and identify handoff, reporting or responsibility gaps that keep issues repeating.
How the work moves
A clear process from intake to reporting.
Each practice is configured around its actual systems, payer mix, staffing and responsibilities. The sequence below shows the operating logic—not a forced one-size-fits-all workflow.
Define audit questions
Identify what leadership wants to understand: denials, AR, collections, posting, missed billing, payer issues or broader RCM performance.
Collect approved data
Review the reports and non-PHI/business information that can be shared initially, then establish secure/BAA-supported access if deeper claim review is needed.
Analyze patterns
Compare claims, CPT/service activity, aging, denials, payments and workflow evidence.
Document findings
Separate high-impact issues from lower-priority observations and explain why each matters.
Recommend next steps
Provide practical actions that may include internal workflow changes, targeted CareMedox support or a broader RCM engagement.

Common questions
Medical Billing Audit FAQs
General answers are provided here. Payer-specific or claim-specific decisions depend on the actual case and the agreed service scope.
What can a CareMedox billing audit review?
Depending on data and scope, the audit can include claims, CPT/service trends, denial/rejection patterns, aging AR, payment posting, collection comparison, schedule-vs-billing and revenue leakage indicators.
Do we need to replace our current billing company to request an audit?
No. The audit can be used to understand the current operation before making any staffing or vendor decision.
Can I send PHI through the public audit form?
No. The public form should not contain patient-specific PHI. If deeper claim review is required, CareMedox can establish appropriate secure and BAA-supported next steps.
Is the 30-day audit free?
CareMedox offers a 30-Day Free Billing Audit consultation. The exact depth depends on available data, secure access requirements and the agreed review scope.
