We were proud to have our CEO, Ritesh Ramesh, featured in ICD10monitor with a Special Bulletin titled Providers Appear Aggressive in Protecting Revenue, Payor Audits Accelerate. The piece, which accompanied Ritesh’s appearance on Monitor Monday, presents key findings from the 2025 MDaudit Benchmark Report, including a 30% surge in total at-risk amounts from external payer audits, an 84% rise in telehealth-related denials, a 70% increase in average denied amounts tied to RFI and medical necessity denials, and a continued worsening of outpatient coding-related denials following last year’s dramatic spike.
The bulletin makes the case that the margin for error in billing, coding, and audits has fundamentally narrowed, and that organizations clinging to reactive compliance strategies are at a growing disadvantage. Ritesh outlines a clear path forward centered on unified, data-driven revenue integrity, proactive pre-bill auditing, and responsible AI integration with meaningful human oversight at every stage. It is exactly the framework MDaudit is built around, and we are glad to share it with the ICD10monitor audience of coding and compliance professionals.
