Be Audit-Ready. Defend With Confidence.
The Audit Shield™ equips your team with payer-specific checklists, templates, and defense strategies—so you can respond to audits in hours, not weeks.
The Reality for Most Practices
Audits aren’t optional—every clinic will face one.
- Medicare TPE, CERT, or commercial prepay reviews arrive with little warning
- Documentation gaps cause panic and delays in responses
- Staff scramble to assemble packets without payer-specific guidance
- Audit findings drain cash flow and damage compliance reputation
- Leaders assume “we’ll figure it out” until the request letter arrives
Without a proactive defense system, audits cause chaos, stress, and unnecessary revenue loss.
When to Choose The Audit Shield™
✅ You want checklists and templates tailored to Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial audits
✅ You need a system to track deadlines, responses, and outcomes
✅ Your staff wastes hours building packets from scratch
✅ You want to train your team on audit best practices—without hiring consultants
The Cost of Not Acting
⚠ Delayed or incomplete responses leading to unfavorable determinations
⚠ Recoupments and clawbacks from missing documentation
⚠ Lost staff productivity spent reinventing audit responses
⚠ Increased payer scrutiny when mistakes repeat
