Verify that procedure codes match documentation and diagnosis codes link correctly to services performed.
Ensure prior authorizations are obtained before services and documented in the billing system.
Check that denials are tracked, categorized, appealed within deadlines, and trended for root cause analysis.
Confirm that billing and coding staff have completed annual HIPAA compliance training.
Validate that a regular internal audit schedule exists and is being followed with documented findings.
Why This Page Exists
Built to close the gap between compliance requirements and daily billing workflows
Most search results either list HIPAA rules or sell compliance software. This page solves the immediate job first: use the checklist, see the score, and understand where gaps exist before you invest in a larger compliance program.
The functional tool stays on top so users can score compliance before reading a guide.
The result cards explain what each gap means instead of leaving users with a raw score.
Ledger Summit can build richer compliance tracking later, but this page delivers value now.
