Summary
Starting January 2026, the insurance company is enhancing its post-payment claim audit process to more rigorously review all paid claims for accuracy. Claims that are found to be inaccurately coded will result in recovery requests for any overpayments made.
Action Required
By January 2026: All billing staff must ensure strict adherence to coding guidelines including ICD-10, CPT, HCPCS, and CCI edits for all claims. Review and update coding workflows to prevent inaccurate coding as overpaid claims will be subject to recovery requests. Train staff on proper documentation to support code selection and implement quality checks before claim submission.
