Hayes External Audit Workflow Tool Streamlines Audit Management
As payers step up efforts to identify and recoup improper payments, hospitals and health systems require innovative solutions to mitigate the potential threat these reviews pose to the bottom line. To meet this need, Hayes, a leading healthcare technology provider that partners with the nation’s premier healthcare organizations to improve revenue, mitigate risk and reduce operating costs, has launched External Audit Workflow to streamline management of external audit responses.
“The volume of external audits is rising exponentially as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and other payers search for every dollar they can recover from over-coded or otherwise improperly filed claims,” said Peter Butler, president and CEO, Hayes. “To protect their hard-earned revenues and reputations, healthcare organizations need a strong first line of defense – an external audit management process that is collaborative, efficient, and comprehensive. That is Hayes’ goal with the launch of MDaudit Enterprise External Audit Workflow.”
MDaudit Enterprise External Audit Workflow simplifies and automates time-consuming and inefficient manual processes for tracking third-party audit requests, including commercial payers, Recovery Audit Contractors (RAC), Targeted Probe and Educate (TPE), and Comprehensive Error Rate Testing (CERT). Its flexible process templates and reporting tools deliver operational efficiencies and insights on potential risks and provide a consistent and repeatable audit response process.
With External Audit Workflow, hospitals and health systems gain access to tools that bring together all their external audit management activities into a secure HIPAA-compliant SaaS-based platform.
