What Is Medical Auditing?

Medical auditing plays an important role in accurate documentation for any healthcare organization, helping to ensure a liability-free operation and identify areas for improvement. The role of a medical auditor is to conduct internal and external reviews of coding accuracy, policies, and procedures of a medical provider to ensure efficient and cost-effective delivery of care.

With documentation mistakes happening easily in any medical setting, medical auditors are tasked with the responsibility of identifying any incorrect or missing documentation that could have negative results for their facility, such as loss in accreditations, physicians’ licenses or Medicare status. In addition to conducting close reviews, medical auditors also educate their respective medical staff on proper documenting procedures and provide updates with regard to new coding, government, and insurance guidelines.
