There’s a phrase in compliance that should make every practice pause:“We’ve always done it this way.”In this episode of Auditing Antics, Stephanie and Michele unpack one of the most dangerous patterns in healthcare billing — the normalization of deviance. A coding practice that started small. A billing habit no one questioned. Claims that paid for years without issue. Until one denial. One probe. One data review changed everything.We walk through how long-standing habits become compliance blind spots, why teams genuinely believe they’re doing it right, and how the math of recoupments can unravel years of “routine” billing in a matter of months.Because payment history is not proof of compliance.And comfort is not a compliance strategy.If you’ve ever heard “but it’s always paid,” this episode is for you.Reach Out For Compliance Help Now! https://www.stephanieallardconsulting.com/contactSign up for our updates and the latest compliance news here! https://www.stephanieallardconsulting.com/Find our AUDITING ANTICS PODCAST for regular updates and discussions related to compliance in the medical coding and billing industry! https://www.stephanieallardconsulting.com/auditing-antics-podcastView our compliance consulting, auditing, and education services here! https://www.stephanieallardconsulting.com/servicesView our Coding Compliance Connection membership here! https://www.stephanieallardconsulting.com/membership View our Etsy shop here! https://sallardconsulting.etsy.com
