Chart Auditing Service

Are your charting and billing practices up to industry and legal standards?

We know how challenging it is to stay compliant with ever-changing billing regulations and charting requirements. As part of our commitment to providing you with best-in-class services, EyeCode Education has merged with Practice Compliance Solutions (PCS) to deliver comprehensive chart audits that ensure you are charting and billing the right way.

Introducing the EyeCode/PCS Comprehensive Chart Audit

With this merger, we’ve taken our chart audits to the next level. PCS brings decades of compliance expertise to your practice, offering detailed reviews of your charts to make sure you’re meeting industry standards and avoiding costly penalties. 

Here’s how it works:

  • Full Chart Audit:

    A thorough review of your documentation and billing to identify gaps or areas for improvement.

  • Actionable Feedback:

    Clear, concise recommendations to help you address compliance risks.

  • Legal and Industry Standards:

    Assurance that your charting practices meet current legal and billing requirements.

Why Compliance Matters

Billing and coding laws are constantly changing, and mistakes can lead to serious consequences, including hefty fines, removal from provider panels, and lost revenue. Inaccurate or incomplete documentation costs U.S. healthcare providers billions every year, with 3-5% of annual revenue lost to inadequate charting. With PCS Comprehensive Chart Audits, you’ll stay ahead of these risks by identifying gaps, ensuring compliance, and protecting your practice from costly penalties.

You Could Be Missing $70K and Not Even Know It

Dr. John McCall

“Everybody thinks they’re doing a good job. They don’t think they need somebody looking over it, but it’s a sobering effect when somebody does look over your practice and tells you what you’re doing wrong or that you missed out on $70,000 last year because of incorrect billing.”

Choose the Right Audit for Your Practice

EyeCode/PCS offers two different audit services to serve the unique needs of your practice: Comprehensive Chart Audit Service and Fraud & Abuse (F&A) Chart Audit Service.

Our Comprehensive Chart Audit goes beyond medical records to meticulously analyze billing and coding practices as well. 20 charts per provider is recommended but customizable packages are available for larger offices or practices with multiple locations. Once the audit is completed you’ll receive a thorough report of any documentation, billing, and coding issues we’ve found as well as insight on the financial impact of any lost revenue due to charting or coding errors. The cost is $1500 per 20 patient encounters, and you are not charged until the audit is completed.

Our Basic Audit meets the minimum audit recommendations from CMS. Much like a real medical record audit, billed services are compared against the medical record documentation but only to determine if the services should be paid or not. This audit is priced at $750 per 10 patient encounters.
