How Crucible Prevents This

Crucible's billing compliance controls enforce documentation-to-claims reconciliation, requiring clinical attestation before claims submission and flagging billing patterns that deviate from documented care delivery. Crucible's controlled substance tracking enforces DEA-compliant inventory reconciliation, flags prescribing pattern anomalies, and requires segregation of duties for dispensing and record-keeping.
