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 consistent
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
documentation 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 maximizing 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.
