Noble House offers streamlined audit response tool

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla., Nov. 8, 2012—The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has recently initiated a number of audit programs in its attempt to diminish payment errors and fraud. Responding to pre- and post-payment RAC, CERT and ZPIC audits can take a toll on a provider’s businesses both in time and monetary resources. The negative effects to DME providers in wasted employee effort and interruption to cash flow can be profound. The time, effort and expense required to recover requested documentation, copy, print, prepare and ship and then manage the myriad of pages requested for the audit can be daunting.

Noble House has created Noble*Audits, a quick and painless response to such requests. Noble*Audits, when used in conjunction with the document imaging feature, will permit the fastest and most efficient response to CMS’s requests for completed documentation. Using Noble*Audits, a case may be established with already scanned related patient and claims paperwork attached. The case with its associated documents may be electronically transmitted using Noble*Direct and Medicare’s new esMD (Electronic Submission of Medical Documentation) mechanism to the requesting agency, then appropriately managed by the provider. Noble*Audits can assist by:

• Saving time and money on document preparation and submission
• Allowing quicker and more accurate responses in order to meet requested deadlines
• Manage the progress of the audit more effectively
• Reduce or eliminate errors to allow a faster completion

Noble*Audits provides an easy to use, integrated, inexpensive instrument which will streamline the administration required for the response to an audit request. For additional information call 800-749-6700 or go to www.nobledirect.com.
