Secretaries and billing clerks are often assigned the additional task of surgical coding, yet they rarely have formal training in the clinical issues and complex rules and regulations that require accurate coding knowledge. Proper medical and surgical coding directly relates to increases in the bottom line and compliance with the law.

The ICD9 coding system is an international disease classification system which groups related disease entities and conditions for the purpose of reporting statistical information. The system is essential for medical billing, research, and public health.

CPT codes describe medical and surgical procedures and services performed by physicians and other health providers. The system was developed by the AMA and is essential to billing for patient care services. The Federal government's Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) used the CPT system to then develop the Resource Based Relative Value System (RBRVS) to assist in the determination of the amounts paid to doctors and other medical providers for services to Medicare and Medicaid patients. A growing number of managed care and other insurance companies, however, base their reimbursements on the values established by CMS.

How the Coding Process Works:

Clients send us copies of their medical or operative reports via fax, overnight delivery or online through encrypted services. Our coders for that particular specialty read the entire report, select the various separately billable procedures without unbundling, in order for them to optimize reimbursement. In addition to the proper CPT codes, modifiers and diagnostic codes are identified and appropriately linked. We then send the coded cases to your billing department within 2 to 3 business days. If there is ever a coding question, or judgment call, our coders will call or email the contact person to discuss the case. All of our coders are certified and carry the CPC designation. We also provide our clients with back-up coding coverage for vacations, sick leave and other absences to avoid bottlenecks and to ensure your cash flow is steady and predictable.
