Recent Audit Bulletins

Avoiding common billing errors can protect you in the event of an audit
May 26, 2006 Over the next five to 10 years, most if not all of you will be subjected to an MCP audit. This is an experience which under the best of circumstances is not particularly pleasant. It can be especially unpleasant if the auditor discovers billing errors leading to exhaustive reviews and potentially large recoveries.
