Audit Defense & Compliance

Aggressive defense against payer audits, government investigations, and recoupment demands — combined with proactive compliance programs that protect your practice before problems arise.

What We Solve

Payer and government audits can threaten the viability of a healthcare practice. These are the most common threats our clients face when they first contact us.

Surprise Audit Demands

Unexpected RAC, MAC, OIG, or commercial payer audit letters arrive with short response windows and serious financial consequences if mishandled.

Aggressive Recoupment

Payers demand immediate repayment of already-collected revenue, threatening cash flow and sometimes seeking amounts that bear no relationship to actual overpayments.

Government Investigations

OIG and DOJ investigations require specialized legal defense strategy from the moment of first contact — generic billing help is wholly inadequate.

Hidden Compliance Gaps

Undiscovered compliance issues become severe legal liability when auditors arrive. Proactive identification is far less costly than reactive defense.
