Protecting the integrity of your healthcare dollar
Catapult Consultants performs fraud, waste, and abuse investigations, audits, and reviews for Medicaid and Medicare Practitioners throughout the Country. Catapult offers a full life-cycle of Program Integrity audit and investigation services, from Statistical Sampling and Analysis to Medical Necessity determinations.
Investigations and Audit
We conduct audits and investigations on Providers who may have over billed the Program. When Fraud is detected, we will provide referrals to the proper investigative branch such as the HHS Office of the Inspector General.
Statistical Sampling
Statistical specialists will pull a randomly valid sample from a universe of claims for audit and investigation. Once complete, the results will be extrapolated to the entire universe of claims to establish an overpayment.
Medical Necessity Review
Licensed RNs and Medical Practitioners will review billing practices for a practitioner to determine if services were medically necessary.

Healthcare Information Technology
We have supported organizations such as District of Columbia, Department of Health (DC DoH) and Mary's Center for Maternal and Child Care (Marys Center) both Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grantees. The firm, in partnership with another company, assisted Marys Center to develop an online patient management system to collect patient data and to track services rendered and follow up care information. This entailed developing a secure application and database system that is HIPAA compliant and has the ability to communicate with other health systems using the Health Level 7 (HL-7) protocol. Catapult Consultants assisted DC DoH with a data gap analysis in which the findings will be used in the development of a new online system to track patient data.
Our experiences with health organizations also include developing custom web applications and databases. For the Health and Human Services Program Support Center (PSC), the firm developed a Section 508 compliant web-based registration system that enabled hundreds of users to register and purchase admission to an annual health conference. The system enabled PSC to save time and money and provided them real time data.
