When we first set out to research the revenue integrity profession more than a year ago, we didn’t know quite where it would take us.

Audits are a check-up for revenue integrity. Skipping a regular audit, like skipping an annual exam, can lead to larger, more costly problems down the line—and a lack of proper auditing and remediation in one department can easily spread problems to related departments.
