title: How clean are your bills?
abstract: An audit of the UB-92 should address the following questions: Are all current procedural terminology codes assigned by health information management transferred to the bill? Are all services and medications being correctly captured? Are services being "double charged" by departments that do not understand the complexity of the billing process? Are all CPT codes in the chargemaster appearing on the claims?
