Medical billing compliance gaps cost the average practice far more than a denied claim — they trigger federal penalties up to $21,563 per false claim, silently erase $64,000 in annual revenue per physician through undercoding, and expose your facility to RAC audits that cost thousands of dollars just to defend. Most practices discover these costs […]
