Audits should teach, not terrorize
Coding audits work when clinicians trust the feedback loop.
Sample encounters by specialty, new providers, and high-dollar or high-risk codes first.
Make findings actionable
Group findings into themes: missing laterality, unsupported E/M level, incomplete procedure notes.
Present two or three examples in a short huddle instead of dumping a 40-page report.
Close the loop
Re-audit the same themes 60 days later. Improvement is the point — not a one-time score.
