coding and undertakes your billing. Clearly, this route
is the most efficient process to expedite and improve
your cash flow.
Almost
all physicians, surgeons, hospitals and ambulatory
surgical centers need accurate medical coding and
surgical coding for proper payment. Physicians
themselves are not optimal coders and a physician's time
is more effectively spent practicing medicine than
coding. Coding requires detailed knowledge on complex
medical services. Our coders are trained in all
specialties.
Secretaries
and billing clerks are often assigned the additional
task of surgical coding, yet they rarely have formal
training in the clinical issues and complex rules and
regulations that require accurate coding knowledge.
Proper medical and surgical coding directly relates to
increases in the bottom line and compliance with the
law.
The
ICD9 coding system is an international disease
classification system which groups related disease
entities and conditions for the purpose of reporting
statistical information. The system is essential for
medical billing, research, and public health.
CPT
codes describe medical and surgical procedures and
services performed by physicians and other health
providers. The system was developed by the AMA and is
essential to billing for patient care services. The
Federal government's Center for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) used the CPT system to then develop the
Resource Based Relative Value System (RBRVS) to assist
in the determination of the amounts paid to doctors and
other medical providers for services to Medicare and
Medicaid patients. A growing number of managed care and
other insurance companies, however, base their
reimbursements on the values established by
CMS.
How
the Coding Process
Works:
Clients
send us copies of their medical or operative reports via
fax, overnight delivery or online through encrypted
services. Our coders for that particular specialty read
the entire report, select the various separately
billable procedures without unbundling, in order for
them to optimize reimbursement. In addition to the
proper CPT codes, modifiers and diagnostic codes are
identified and appropriately linked. We then send the
coded cases to your billing department within 2 to 3
business days. If there is ever a coding question, or
judgment call, our coders will call or email the contact
person to discuss the case. All of our coders are
certified and carry the CPC designation. We also provide
our clients with back-up coding coverage for vacations,
sick leave and other absences to avoid bottlenecks and
to ensure your cash flow is steady and
predictable.
