WARREN, N.J., Jan. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- AdvantEdge Healthcare Solutions ("AdvantEdge"), one of the nation's leading providers of medical billing, practice management, and coding services for specialty physicians, hospitals, behavioral health facilities and surgery centers, today announced results of its "Total Confidence" approach to medical billing and coding, demonstrating that its standards go "above and beyond" those of most firms in the industry. As a result, healthcare providers have confidence that their financial results meet the most rigorous standards. AdvantEdge will discuss its Total Confidence approach to medical billing and coding at PRACTICE MANAGEMENT 2016 later this week in San Diego.
Aspects of AdvantEdge's Total Confidence approach include SSAE16 SOC 1, Type II compliance, a complete HIPAA security assessment and a comprehensive compliance plan. Companies that complete an annual SOC 1 examination are able to demonstrate a substantially higher level of assurance and operationally visibility than those companies that do not. The completion of the SOC 1 Type 2 examination typifies AdvantEdge's ongoing commitment to create and maintain the most stringent controls needed to ensure the highest quality and security of services provided to its customers.
In addition, AdvantEdge has a third-party HIPAA security audit conducted of its operations on an annual basis. For the past three years, AdvantEdge's audit results demonstrate that its operations meet the rigorous data security requirements of HIPAA and the HITECH act.
The AdvantEdge compliance plan proactively embraces all seven core strategies that enable healthcare providers to ensure compliance with regulations and avoid serious risks and penalties. The seven core elements and actions in the AdvantEdge compliance plan include:
"Taken together, these strategies proactively respond to regulations and provide improved communications, quality, and potentially lower costs," said David Langsam, President & CEO. In addition to its own comprehensive compliance plan, AdvantEdge offers a wide variety of compliance services to its clients, including an Internet-based compliance training program.

"The AdvantEdge Total Confidence approach means that regulatory and HIPAA compliance is assured while, at the same time, daily operations achieve the highest financial performance for physician practices, hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and behavioral health agencies," said Mr. Langsam.
