Behavioral Health & Addiction Compliance, Oversight & Audits
Build a Stronger, Safer Operation Through Proactive Compliance
Expert Compliance Support for Behavioral Health & Addiction Treatment Providers
Stay fully aligned with state licensing rules, payer requirements, and accreditation standards. Our compliance team builds the infrastructure your facility needs to stay audit-ready every day, including documentation audits, workforce training, policy development, grievance systems, and annual compliance workplans. We help you identify risks early, close gaps quickly, and operate with confidence in any review.
Compliance Infrastructure Built for Accountability
Strong compliance programs rely on deliberate design, clear structure, and consistent oversight. We help behavioral health and addiction treatment providers build and sustain compliance systems that do more than meet minimum requirements. Our approach embeds quality, accountability, and regulatory alignment into daily operations so your organization stays ready for any audit, review, or investigation.
Compliance Program Design & Maintenance
Whether you’re opening a new facility or strengthening an existing program, we help you design a fully integrated compliance framework tailored to your services, risk profile, and regulatory obligations.
Our compliance support includes:

Chart Audits & Quality Reviews That Go Beyond AI
Why Human Chart Audits Still Matter
AI chart audits can flag missing fields or billing anomalies, but they can’t see the bigger picture. Our human-led chart audits go beyond checklists to examine the entire medical record as a cohesive narrative, identifying risk areas that automated systems miss. We look for cloned notes, inconsistent treatment plans, and copy-forward patterns that create red flags for auditors and payers. Our team understands behavioral health documentation inside and out, ensuring the clinical story is complete, consistent, and defensible across progress notes, assessments, treatment plans, and discharge summaries. That’s something no algorithm can replicate.
Integrated Dashboards & Real-Time Corrections
We pair human auditing expertise with technology that keeps your team in sync. Our software dashboard gives you real-time visibility into chart audit findings, trends, and correction requests. Each audit is tracked through our secure project management system, so clinicians, billers, and compliance officers can follow up quickly, complete corrections, and close the loop. No more waiting until the end of the quarter to fix costly issues. We help you act on risks as they emerge.
Quarterly Compliance Workplans
We eliminate guesswork by creating and tracking quarterly workplans that align with your program goals, payer expectations, and regulatory priorities.

Operational Compliance Systems That Strengthen Everyday Practice
Ongoing compliance requires more than meeting baseline requirements. It demands operational habits, clear standards, and reliable systems for responding when issues arise. We help you build the structures and routines that keep your facility prepared for accreditation reviews and confident in your incident reporting and response process.
