Medical Coding
Patient documents / files / reports that are electronically scanned at our client's office are seamlessly and securely accessed by our offshore center using our value platform VPNs connections. Our teams verify and validate the documents, split them into batches and review them for completeness, quality and readability. Diagnosis, Procedure Codes and modifiers are assigned as per client descriptions and guidelines. Modification of certain codes may be made as per carrier requirement (e.g. certain insurance carriers require ASA code). We use the following industry coding standards:

Diagnosis Codes (ICD-9: International Classification of Disease)
Procedure Codes (CPT-4: Current Procedural Terminology)
Coding for Inpatient Services (ICD-9)
Drug Codes (NDC: National Drug Codes)
Dental Procedure Codes (CDT: Current Dental Terminology)
Other Procedure Codes (HCPCS: Healthcare Procedure Coding System)

Our diligent auditors and Six Sigma oriented quality control team audit the coded charge sheets and process it further for charge entry and cash posting.
