🛡 Stay Ready for Any Payer. Respond Like a Pro.

Audit Guard™ equips your revenue cycle team with plug-and-play response templates, tracking tools, internal audit workflows, and regulatory references — so you’re never caught off guard by a payer audit, TPE probe, or documentation request again.

⚠ The Reality for Most Clinics

Audits aren’t just for “bad actors” anymore. Even clean claims are under scrutiny—and most clinics aren’t prepared until it’s too late.

  • Payer requests sit untouched until the deadline looms
  • Internal audits are scattered, untracked, or never done
  • Staff panic when CMS or a MAC sends a letter
  • No one remembers who responded to what
  • Risk areas aren’t flagged or monitored proactively

✅ When to Choose Audit Guard™

  • You’ve received a TPE, CERT, SMRC, or UPIC letter
  • You want to build an internal audit system before payers strike
  • You need better documentation for appeal defense
  • You’re managing provider risk without real visibility
  • Your staff wastes time Googling how to respond to audits

💸 The Cost of Not Acting

  • ⚠ Missed deadlines = automatic recoupments
  • ⚠ Denials due to incomplete or disorganized responses
  • ⚠ Failed audits leading to pre-payment reviews or extrapolation
  • ⚠ Payer distrust and increased scrutiny
  • ⚠ Panic-mode response culture instead of structured defense
