Place-of-service errors in behavioral health billing are easy to miss. A team—led by Vice President Kristofer Swanson and Principal Patricia Pelaez—from our Forensic Services Practice were retained to investigate facility-based behavioral health billing for a client that had unknowingly submitted claims with incorrect Place of Service (POS) codes and corresponding contextual requirements. Each mistake represented legal and regulatory risk, with a potential audit trigger. We advised our client on how to identify and remediate workflow gaps, restructure internal review processes, and implement real-time safeguards.
