Compliance
Compliance program
The documented policies, training and monitoring a practice maintains to prevent and detect billing violations.
What it means in dermatology
The core elements are written standards, a designated compliance contact, training, auditing and monitoring, a reporting channel, and documented corrective action.
For billing, the operative part is the monitoring: a schedule of internal audits with recorded findings and follow-up.
Why it matters to your revenue
A documented, actually-operating program materially changes how a payer or regulator treats an error.
