Private insurance companies, Medicare, and HMOs -- have significantly increased their scrutiny of medical providers, leading to a growing number of medical records audits. These audits begin with what appears to be an innocuous request for a random sample of patient records, or it may identify specific diagnostic or procedure codes. The Law Office of John N. Tasolides has the experience to assist clients in responding to such requests with the care necessary to help avoid significant problems, and reimbursement demands that can result.
