What billing red flags should practices watch for?

Signs include poor documentation, coding errors, frequent denials, late claims, unusual adjustments, not following contracted fees, and patterns suggesting upcoding or unbundling.

How does better documentation and coding reduce denials?

Clear documentation and correct ADA codes support necessity, prevent errors, reduce denials, and help maximize reimbursement and treatment acceptance.

How can practices prevent embezzlement?

Use strong internal controls: separate duties, require two-person verification, run regular audits, limit system access, reconcile often, and monitor for unusual adjustments or payment activity.
