Private Diagnostic Clinic at Duke University Medical Center chooses Hayes Management Consulting s MDaudit

Hayes Management Consulting announced today that it will provide its MDaudit™ software to the Duke University Medical Center’s faculty physician organization, Private Diagnostic Clinic (PDC). By automating the administrative aspects of billing compliance auditing, MDaudit significantly improves audit productivity, increases audit accuracy and quality, maximizes revenue and provides a standardized, streamlined environment for compliance departments. It is currently in use at seven of the top fifteen healthcare organizations in the country, as identified by US News & World Report.

“We are committed to continued quality improvement in every aspect of our practice.” says Mark Cantrell, Chief Compliance Officer, PDC. “By improving the quality and efficiency of our billing compliance system, we will have more time to assist physicians so that they can spend more time with patients.”

MDaudit was designed to help organizations reduce compliance risk by increasing productivity so that more time can be allotted to physician education. Some organizations have taken this a step further to review and correct not just overcoding, but undercoding as well – ensuring that physicians are paid correctly for services rendered. Some have also used the extra time to help physicians with coding up front, to the benefit of patients and the organization.

“When services are properly coded, everyone wins,” says Pete Butler, President of Hayes Management Consulting. “Compliance officers can mitigate risk, financial executives can monitor the ‘money left on the table’ through undercoding, and physicians can enjoy accelerated reimbursement and enhanced coding education.”
