Maintaining Quality Control in Audits
Auditing production is maintained at an average of 30 records per person per day. For all audits, HCRS performs three quality control checkpoints:
- First level review (individual audit review) performed by the Coding Auditors on their coding reviews at the end of each audit project;
- Second level review performed by Senior Coding Auditors who review a random three percent sample of the Coding Auditors reviews; and
- Third level review performed by the Peer Review Analyst who conducts a random three percent review of all auditors work.
In addition, performance audits are conducted quarterly and annually to determine whether auditors are accurately performing all reviews and other required functions. Based on these audits, HCRS establishes an overall audit performance rating for each auditor.
To maintain or improve long-term audit performance, HCRS also creates training templates for auditors based on a comprehensive review of audit results. This enables us to design targeted training courses customized to the fit a customer’s actual audit results.
