The department encompasses several specialized areas: Inpatient and Outpatient CDI, Infusion Prior Authorizations, Medical Audit, and Medicaid Screening. Each area is staffed by experienced nurses who review medical records for various clinical and regulatory purposes.

They collaborate closely with Billing on denials and appeals to support timely patient care and reimbursement. Medical Audit Nurses perform chart audits to ensure hospital charges are appropriate and compliant. They identify billing trends, correct discrepancies, and support hospital departments with charge integrity.
