Audit Preparation and Support

COMPLIANCE SOLUTIONS

Audit preparation and regulatory support for healthcare providers.

Regulatory audits can be stressful, time-consuming, and financially damaging especially if you’re caught off guard. Many healthcare organizations lack the internal resources or documentation processes needed to successfully navigate payer, HIPAA, or CMS audits. Errors, omissions, or inconsistencies in records can result in claim denials, penalties, or even loss of accreditation.

At John Lynch & Associates, we offer full-service audit preparation & support tailored to healthcare providers. Our consultants help your organization prepare for and respond to audits with confidence whether you're facing a routine payer review, a surprise HIPAA inspection, or a targeted compliance investigation.

Why audit preparation and support matters.

Healthcare audits can originate from various sources such as CMS, OCR, commercial payers, or accrediting bodies. Each comes with specific expectations, timelines, and potential consequences. Without a structured audit response plan, your organization may:

  • Miss deadlines for documentation submission
  • Fail to produce required records or policies
  • Provide inconsistent responses across departments
  • Overlook issues that could trigger penalties or expanded investigations

Our audit preparation services ensure you’re not just reacting you’re anticipating. We help healthcare teams approach audits proactively, with organized documentation, aligned messaging, and a clear corrective strategy if needed.
