Likewise, after each reevaluation of the denial, the reviewing body has time limits to process the appeal. There are [BLANK-6] limit thresholds at the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) and judicial review appeal levels. 4. List three goals of internal audits. · Reduce coding and billing [BLANK-7] and improper payments · Improve patient [BLANK-8] · [BLANK-9] the chances of an external audit by third-party payers · Create a robust [BLANK-10] of compliance 5. List and describe the components of an audit plan. Who: This section identifies who is the [BLANK-11] for the audit and who will [BLANK-12] the audit.

How would a denials management team use root cause analysis to improve the facility’s denial rate? Denials management teams use root cause analysis to identify the causes of denials. Once the causes are identified, the team can tailor [BLANK-32] for coders and physicians. By providing very specific education, there is greater chance that the coding professional’s or physician’s performance will improve, preventing future denials.
