Audit automation software aids University's quality improvement initiative
Newton, MA, April 7, 2008 – Hayes Management Consulting announced
today that it will provide its MDaudit™ software to the Duke University Medical Center's
faculty physician organization, Private Diagnostic Clinic (PDC). By automating the
administrative aspects of billing compliance auditing, MDaudit significantly improves audit
productivity, increases audit accuracy and quality, maximizes revenue and provides a
standardized, streamlined environment for compliance departments. It is currently in use at
seven of the top fifteen healthcare organizations in the country, as identified by US
News & World Report.
"We are committed to continued quality improvement in every aspect of our practice,"
says Mark Cantrell, Chief Compliance Officer, PDC. "By improving the quality and
efficiency of our billing compliance system, we will have more time to assist physicians
so that they can spend more time with patients."
MDaudit was designed to help organizations reduce compliance risk by increasing
productivity so that more time can be allotted to physician education. Some organizations
have taken this a step further to review and correct not just overcoding, but undercoding
as well – ensuring that physicians are paid correctly for services rendered. Some have
also used the extra time to help physicians with coding up front, to the benefit of
patients and the organization.
"When services are properly coded, everyone wins," says Pete Butler, President of
Hayes Management Consulting. "Compliance officers can mitigate risk, financial executives
can monitor the 'money left on the table' through undercoding, and physicians can enjoy
accelerated reimbursement and enhanced coding education."
