Medical Coding

With several years of expertise on both physician and reimbursement sides, our highly dedicated team from American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) ensures highly accurate and compliant coding services. We follow the coding process through a structured methodology which has already produced satisfactory results with other clients. Diagnosis, Procedure Codes and modifiers are assigned as per the descriptions and guidelines of the respective practice. Modification of certain codes may be made as per carrier requirements (e.g. Medicare's new G-Code system).

We use the following industry coding standards:

Diagnosis Codes (ICD-9: International Classification of Disease)

Procedure Codes (CPT-4: Current Procedural Terminology)

Drug Codes (NDC: National Drug Codes)

Other Procedure Codes (HCPCS: Healthcare Procedure Coding System)

Diligent Auditing: Quality Control department audits the coded charge sheets.

Our expert Coding Compliance team works 27/7 to ensure the quality and accuracy.
Periodic Compliance updates are given to the Coders along with the periodic Correct Coding Initiative (CCI) and Local Coverage Determination (LCD) updates.

We provide regular feedback to our clients on changes in code selections affecting reimbursements and front-office documentation practices to be followed as per CMS guidelines for appropriate reimbursements to physicians as well as insights into coding related denial analysis. Our expertise in E/M Evaluation & Management Services have driven clients across US to use our services for physician education and audits on coding done by other billing companies and/ or physicians themselves.

Our coders provide high quality within the specified TAT provided by the client. Our quality team ensures that each and every charge posted is verified and a random quality check is done before we send out claims to the payers. We strictly follow the HIPAA guidelines to protect the confidentiality of the PHI.

While we accurately code your services based on the documentation of your services through transcriptions or handwritten reports we also guide you to document your services more effectively so that you get paid better. We periodically analyze your practice codes and guide you on improving reimbursements.
