Industry Standards for Amount of Providers to 1 Auditor?

I’m looking for some information on what are the industry standards for how many providers 1 auditor should have? This would be based on a standard yearly audit for each provider, as well as fixing any errors that may come across our WQs as we call them. So far the consensus is, 1 Auditor: 50 Providers. Is there information somewhere on that?

Thanks!

New at the industry need advice

Hi!

I am a makeup artist and a mom of a smart, vibrant boy. In the search for a better life for my son, I started a medical records certificate. I am three classes away from completing my Medical Records Certificate. I have to admit that now that I can see the end of this journey I am incredibly anxious about how to enter the industry and start a stable job that helps me provide for my son and me. I plan to get my CPC immediately after finishing my certificate. I have no experience in this field, and I will appreciate any advice on what to do to accomplish my goals. Ultimately, I will love to be a medical coder and be able to work remotely, giving me some flexibility to take care of my son and being able to support him. Please help!!
