Specifically-built documentation, audit trails, and claims integrity for PACE and MLTSS programs

How Care Compass Reduces Compliance Risk

Automated Audit TrailsEvery care plan action, authorization decision, and billing transaction is timestamped and user-attributed creating the complete documentation record that eliminates FCA exposure from missing or incomplete entries.
Claims Integrity ControlsBuilt-in adjudication rules flag billing anomalies before submission, reducing erroneous claims at the source rather than resolving them through costly post-payment audits.
IDT Documentation StandardsStructured IDT workflows enforce consistent, discipline-specific documentation across all care team members, reducing the variability in records that triggers state surveyors and CMS auditors.
Real-Time Compliance DashboardsPlan administrators monitor member-level and program-level compliance metrics in real time, not 60 days later in a state report, enabling proactive remediation before issues escalate.
Transaction-Level ReportingEvery system event creates a reportable transaction, functioning as a GL subledger for plan accounting systems and providing a complete, auditready financial and clinical record at all times.
