Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Does CCS Provide Both Pre-Bill and Post-Bill Coding Auditing?
Yes. CCS provides pre-bill coding auditing before claims go out and post-bill coding auditing for compliance, accuracy, and education.
Can CCS Support Recurring Audit Cadences?
Yes. CCS can support one-time, monthly, quarterly, semiannual, annual, and other periodic coding audit programs, along with ad hoc reporting when a focused issue needs review.
Why Does CCS Recommend Smaller Audit Sample Sizes?
CCS typically recommends smaller sample sizes than the industry standard because most trends are readily identifiable without a large sample. Smaller samples also give clients greater control over audit costs and flexibility to review more areas.
Can CCS Review Work from Another Coding Vendor?
Yes. CCS often serves as an unbiased third party reviewing coding from internal coders or coding contractors.
What Does a Full Review Include?
A full review evaluates assigned codes for accuracy, compliance, documentation support, performance trends, and education opportunities, including issues that may not immediately change reimbursement.
Can CCS Provide Education After the Audit?
Yes. CCS can translate audit findings into coder or physician education through daily mentoring, round tables, one-to-one sessions, webinars, and CEU-supported formats where applicable.
