Understanding compliance findings
What severity means, where each rule comes from, and how one-click fixes work.
Updated October 9, 2026
An issue is a rule in your note rules that a note doesn't meet. Each one shows the rule, the source it came from (a payer manual, state regulation, accreditation standard or your own policy), the evidence in the note, and a suggested fix.
| Severity | Meaning | At signing |
|---|---|---|
| Critical | Likely to cause denial, recoupment or a safety gap (e.g., risk discussed but not documented). | Blocks signing until resolved or overridden with a reason. |
| High | Likely audit finding (e.g., time doesn't support the code). | Warns; can sign. |
| Medium | Quality or best-practice gap. | Advisory. |
| Low | Style or consistency. | Advisory. |
Fixes
When the transcript contains the missing information, the fix is an edit you can accept with one click — shown as a diff with the evidence. When it doesn't, Margent asks you a question instead of inventing an answer.
