Coding

Capture Appropriate Reimbursement Through Improved Coding

How is inaccurate coding affecting your patient care and revenue?  Coding is undoubtedly the most complex function of the revenue cycle, yet the most important for your financial health and the safety of your patients. Accurate, timely and appropriate coding records your patient’s care journey. It ensures all appropriate revenue is identified, reduces denied claims, decreases cost-to-collect, and helps mitigate compliance risks.

 

Our coding services provide highly trained and experienced coding experts, while removing the burden of identifying, hiring, and training the right talent. Our team has expertise across over 60 coding specialities, from basic Laboratory and Radiology to the most CDI-infused Inpatient DRG coding audits. We can handle all patient types and specialties, both facility and professional, and can provide targeted support to your current team or a complete outsource of the coding function.
