Lower your risk of an audit
While most physicians may go their entire careers without being subject to a billing audit, it can be a stressful, disruptive and overwhelming experience when an audit does occur. The system is sometimes inconsistent or ambiguous as you try to navigate the perplexing world of the Medical Services Plan (MSP) and the ever-changing billing rules of the Payment Schedule. One way to significantly reduce the risk of being audited is to understand the Payment Schedule, the regulations and the support available to you.
