Leave Nothing to Chance

It’s important to work with properly trained and certified medical coding specialists that are up-to-date on current coding guidelines to ensure accurate claim submission. Even small errors can lead to payment delays, underpayments as well as a full claim denial. The result can have a significant effect on revenue and client satisfaction.

Expertise For Your Organization

We take the guesswork out of the coding process. All of our coding specialists have gone through extensive training and are certified through the AAPC or  AHIMA. They are knowledgeable about medical terminology and work closely with the healthcare provider to ensure they document accurate and thorough medical records.

The healthcare industry is no stranger to change. Staying up to date with the constant changes in coding guidelines, payer policies and governmental regulations can be challenging.  In addition to rigorous certification training, the coding team at Practicefirst  is required to participate in continuing education courses to ensure they are current on the latest industry practices. This gives our clients several important advantages:

  • Our medical coders are proficient in Evaluation & Management Guidelines and accurately evaluate medical reports so that doctors can stay focused on their patients. When clarification is needed, our experts can quickly and easily communicate with the medical provider regarding the information needed.
  • Our experts code to the highest specificity and are fluent in all diagnosis coding guidelines. Precise coding and proper documentation help ensure your practice receives the proper reimbursement for services rendered, and will also guard against inadvertent overbilling.
  • Our certified coders identify potential for unbilled services and provide appropriate feedback to providers.
  • Our coding specialists are trained to review provider notes to ensure the documentation meets the medical necessity criteria for the level of service billed. This attention to detail results in significantly fewer claim denials.
  • As coding guidelines are updated or new codes are added each year, our experts remain current about the new requirements and how to implement them correctly.
  • Our experts look for documentation pitfalls and provide practice level education and training for providers.
