Toolkit for Physicians Facing Medical Audits
The TMA worked with the Physicians Advocacy Institute and the American College of Emergency Physicians to develop a toolkit that contains practical tools for physicians facing medical audits. The Toolkit for Physicians Facing Medical Audits provides practical information and tips to help physicians anticipate medical audits, respond to auditors’ requests for medical records, and appeal erroneous audit findings. It includes detailed information regarding topics related to medical audits, including the various types of governmental and private payer audits, appellate procedures, and extrapolation methodologies used by some payers to calculate alleged over-payments.
