Turning Real-World Audit Challenges into Wins with Atom Audit

When a medical group begins formal auditing for the first time, the to-do list can feel overwhelming. You may have a mix of providers and coders handling different parts of the process, reports that lack standardization, and no clear way to measure accuracy against benchmarks.

That’s exactly the scenario one of our newest Atom Audit users faced. She shared her audit goals with us, and it quickly became clear that Atom Audit could address nearly every item—helping her transition from “no formal process” to a streamlined, data-driven program.

From Goals to Reality: How Atom Audit Helps

1. Create a clear audit process for providers and coders

Whether providers do the initial coding or coders handle most of the work, Atom Audit supports both workflows. You can define responsibilities, track validation steps, and ensure every claim gets reviewed with consistent criteria.

2. Standardize reporting

No more cobbling together spreadsheets. Atom Audit delivers built-in, professional-grade reports that make results easy to understand—and easy to share with stakeholders.

3. Measure accuracy against industry benchmarks

Atom Audit generates accuracy data and standardized reports that you can easily compare against the benchmarks your organization subscribes to (such as MGMA). This makes it simple to track progress and demonstrate improvement over time.

4. Identify trends across specialties

Spot patterns in documentation quality, coding accuracy, and denial reasons across service lines—so you know where to focus education and process improvements.

5. Run your own E/M bell curves

Get visibility into E/M code usage with customizable bell curve reports, helping you detect anomalies and support compliance.

6. Validate CPT and HCPCS codes across service lines

Atom Audit makes it easy to confirm that procedure coding is both accurate and consistent—no matter how many specialties you manage.

7. Analyze denial trends

Understand where denials are coming from and why, so you can address root causes instead of just fixing errors after the fact.
