Humana Audit Defense: Common Questions
What triggers a Humana audit?
Humana audits can be triggered by a variety of factors, including unusual billing patterns, high-cost claims, or non-compliance with Humana’s contract requirements. Sometimes, audits are random, while other times they’re based on suspected policy violations. If you’ve received an audit notice from Humana, it’s essential to seek legal counsel to prepare an appropriate response and minimize risks.
What consequences can I face in a Humana audit?
The outcomes of a Humana audit can vary widely, from repayment demands to contract termination. In some cases, Humana may impose financial penalties or remove you from their network if they find significant issues. Health Law Alliance specializes in defending against these consequences, using a detailed approach to dispute findings and protect your practice’s financial health.
