8230: 2025 Conducting A Self-Audit

July 17, 2025
No Premium Credit Available and No Payment Required

The American Medical Association (AMA) in conjunction with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the payor community revised documentation guidelines in 2021/2023 to reduce administrative burden shifting the focus to align with how patient care is delivered today. Since that time, payors have increased their auditing efforts to ensure the guidelines are applied according to the revised Medical Decision-Making Table. The best way to successfully pass a payor audit is to proactively perform your own internal audits. This session provides the building blocks to conduct your own self-assessment.

Whether you are new to the concept of internal audits or looking to enhance your existing processes, this session will equip your team with valuable insights and practical strategies to assure physician/providers’ documentation demonstrates:

  • Medically appropriate history, exam and medical decision making

  • “Proof of thought”

  • Medical necessity

Join us for this insightful webinar designed for medical professionals, practice

executives, coders, and billers for best practice guidance to perform internal chart

audits.
