Is there a free AI scribe for podiatrists?

Why did routine foot care claims fail the Medicare audit?
In a December 2025 audit, the HHS Office of Inspector General found 49 of 100 sampled podiatry claims did not meet Medicare requirements: 28 were insufficiently documented or had no documentation, 22 were incorrectly coded, and 3 were not medically necessary. Some had more than one problem.
