The potential issues are based on the most recent claims audit report. Fraud and abuse are similar, but defined by different intentions. Fraud is the intentional deception or misrepresentation of information by an individual or organization. Abuse involves actions that are inconsistent with accepted, sound medical, business or fiscal practices. Abuse directly or indirectly results in unnecessary costs to the program through improper payments. Examples of both include upcoding and downcoding.

Using the coding audit of sample records below, analyze the results and provide a 1-page report of your findings. Your report should:

Provide a summary of the audit results.
Identify potential abuse or fraudulent trends, with examples.
Recommend and describe at least one action item based on potential abuse or fraudulent trend.
