This is not just a policy update, it is a shift in workflow. In this episode of Auditing Antics, we break down what UnitedHealthcare (UHC) is really changing and why so many providers are at risk without realizing it. If you are reviewing imaging on the same date as an E M service, that work may no longer be separately reimbursed unless it meets strict interpretation and reporting requirements. We walk through what qualifies as a true interpretation versus a simple review, why global billing is now under increased scrutiny, and how payer edits and documentation expectations will directly impact your claims. This is not just about radiology, it reflects where payer enforcement is going and how quickly reimbursement can shift when workflows and documentation do not align. If your workflow has not changed, your revenue likely will.Reach Out For Compliance Help Now! https://www.stephanieallardconsulting.com/contact

In this episode of Auditing Antics, we explore how coding skills evolve through auditing and what it really means to take your knowledge to the next level. While coding provides the foundation, auditing requires a broader focus on documentation integrity, medical necessity, and compliance risk.

Spravato treatment includes a required two-hour observation period, but many clinics are unclear about what that time should actually involve. In this episode, we explore what needs to happen during the monitoring period and how clinical care responsibilities differ from billing and compliance expectations. We discuss patient monitoring, staff roles, physician involvement, and documentation, along with common workflow approaches that can unintentionally create compliance or billing risk for practices.Reach Out For Compliance Help Now! https://www.stephanieallardconsulting.com/contact
