    The AHCAE is committed to bringing auditing standards to a new and consistent level.  

These practicums are also an essential element in assisting for preparation of the Certified Healthcare Chart Auditor (CHCA); Certified Healthcare Chart Auditor-Facility (CHCAF); and Certified Healthcare Chart Auditor-Surgical (CHCAS) exams and our newest, the CHCRA - Certified Healthcare Risk Auditor. CEUs by various organizations will vary as certain sessions/topics may be approved or excluded. These practicums may also assist in preparation for other exams. Here are just a few key points our audit team will teach you (certain areas will vary dependent on the practicum type);

 

  • What the OIG (Office of Inspector General) is looking for when investigating physicians and facilities through audits
  • Compliance plans require auditing and monitoring. Learn what your practice / facility needs to perform this critical step
  • How to determine your audit scope, define your audit parameters and create a valid statistical sampling utilizing the governmental RATSTATS program
  • Build your skill level through auditing principles and application by dissecting various (hand written, electronic, template driven, etc.) medical record documentation formats for determining accuracy of pertinent levels and other types of documented services.
  • Go away with correct interpretation and application of CMS regulations and the 1995 and 1997 Evaluation and Management Documentation Guidelines
  • Explore and become familiar with pertinent regulatory information critical to accurate and compliant auditing. Understand the audit process from start to report development and delivery
  • Essential communication skills for the auditor will be taught to assist you in explaining and backing up your results from a private and regulatory perspective
  • OIG imposed CIA (Corporate Integrity Agreements) and the required audit parameters and reporting processes
  • RAC (Recovery Audit Contractors) audits are ongoing across the United States - learn what you need to know
  • CERT (Comprehensive Error Rate Testing) direct from CMS carriers, get the birds eye view so you can be prepared for changes
