AIU- Expectations during an Audit f requested. Providers must be able to furnish a copy of their AIU documentation for auditor review if requested. If providers have adopted free, web-based software, each provider must be able to furnish evidence that he/she has installed and activated the software. If the free software is provider based, each provider must be able to furnish AIU documentation and show evidence of installation/activation.

Patient Volume Expectation during an Audit All materials used to arrive at patient volume attestations must be available for the auditors’ reviews. All materials used to arrive at patient volume attestations will be held by provider for 7 years after each payment. Auditable data source must contain: patient name, date of service, primary payer, and secondary payer (if Medicaid or CMO).
