Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Compliance Audit

Mental health and substance use disorder facilities now more than ever need a SME to provide audit and education services to ensure documentation adequately meets the complex regulations. We bring about documentation improvement as well as help build an internal process of a billing compliance plan as it relates to these services. Mental health and addiction services have recently piqued the interest of CMS and the OIG.


Coding Advantage specializes in partnering with these organizations to bring validation to the service through good documentation and proactive auditing process. You need to invest in your staff and organization now to remain compliant and preserve revenue integrity. We provide very thorough reports with detailed feedback, and actionable recommendations that we can also help you implement.


Your ROI is supported through an educational component based on your results, not just generalized industry standard jargon your staff might not understand. Our approach and tools used during the process will help you establish a future compliance plan your staff can implement!

After consulting with Sonda I always felt more sure-footed and equipped in knowing what next steps were needed.  Sonda not only provides answers, but she teaches you where to go and how to research on your own when seeking clarification or direction on issues.  Sonda is one of the best consultants I have had the pleasure of working with and I would recommend her with no hesitation.  

– Patti Webb interim CEO Center for Addiction Treatment

Sonda has worked with our organization since the behavioral health redesign in 2017.  I do not think we could have navigated that redesign as successfully and seamlessly without her knowledge, guidance, and willingness to get answers from the right people, even at the state level.  Since then, she has become an integral part of our team.  She is absolutely an expert in the behavioral health billing world, and we feel fortunate to have her working with us.
