Medical Coding
Realising appropriate payment for services is a challenge for healthcare providers, and it is becoming increasingly difficult. With higher self-pay and compliance increasing exponentially, there is greater opportunity for risk. Medical coding is a key activity that impacts the financial health of your practice. Without specialized expertise, focus, and an infrastructure to support the process, you are only increasing your exposure to risk.
