Coding Services

Our Coding staff has a record of exceptional performance and professionalism. All EMEDEX coders are Certified Professional Coders as certified by the American Academy of Professional Coders, (AAPC) thus assuring that they are the industry’s most knowledgeable coding professionals.

Our coders must pass a comprehensive exam and demonstrate both experience and excellence before being hired. New coding staff is audited 100% for accuracy and opportunities to enhance and focus on potential knowledge deficits. They continue to be audited on an ongoing basis to ensure consistant excellence in their performance.

Monthly meetings provide coding staff with the opportunity to learn from each other, review ongoing chart audits and keep the team up to date on recent industry trends, ensuring the most knowledgeable team possible.

Throughout the month, weekly coding tips are distributed to coders internally and in many cases to our clients for those trends noticed in the everyday operations.

Our secure client web site access provides “Ask a Coder” text box as a resource for our clients coding or documentation questions within 24 business hours.

Coding Feedback for Compliance and documenation excellence.

All new clients receive an initial review of their coding and documentation to identify problems that could put our clients at risk for compliance violations by federal and local payers and assists in max imizing reimbursement through proper coding.

Feedback is provided for physician documentation deficiencies that might have a negative impact on the client. Coders utilize e-mail, written memorandum and monthly meeting presence with clients to enhance feedback.

Reporting on CPT code frequencies by physician and group ensure any change in coding or documentation standards is quickly identified and resolved.
