Audit scenarios test documentation integrity, coding accuracy, medical necessity, modifier justification, and compliance controls. Audit outcomes: downcoding, refunds/recoupment, extrapolation risk, corrective action plans. Biggest traps: cloned notes, missing signatures, and unsupported modifiers. Worked example (mini): Audit finds 30 notes with identical HPI/ROS/exam and same level billed despite different complaints. Red flag for cloning → risk of downcode/r
