When an expert is needed to explore and ultimately testify for an internal audit project, Cahn Litigation Services will hone in on an expert witness with precisely the rights skills and experience to get the job done.

The healthcare consulting practice includes general medical data audit support services, predictive data analytics, data assessments and strategy support, internal control audits, compliance, risk, and vulnerability assessments.
This expert has extensive experience working directly with patients and within healthcare provider settings, and has observed systemic procedural failures that can render medical debt reporting unreliable. Patients routinely execute consent and financial responsibility agreements before services are rendered and before receiving disclosure of actual charges. Upon discharge, patients typically do not receive itemized statements; often the first bill arrives 30 to 60 days post-service, precluding timely verification or error identification. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. ? 1681s-2) establishes accuracy requirements for information furnishers, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has documented pervasive medical billing errors including duplicate charges, fees for services never rendered, and amounts that should have been covered by insurance. California Senate Bill 1061, effective January 1, 2025, prohibits consumer credit reporting agencies from including medical debt on credit reports and bars healthcare providers and collection agencies from furnishing such information to credit bureaus.
