Private health insurance audits
This module has been created to take the fear out of private health insurance audits.

- the two types of private health insurance audits you might be subject to and why
- what the audit process involves, and

Most importantly, you will learn the practices you can put in place to ensure you comply with private health insurance regulations.
This course will leave you confident, compliant, and free to focus on what you do best – help your patients feel better.
The module is delivered through ARHG’s online training platform, QualiPHI. For more information and to register, visit the QualiPHI website.
