Our Coding Process

Coding Transcribed Reports

The process begins when an operative report or charge sheet is received. Our coders extract information from these reports and code it according to established guidelines.

Procedural and Diagnostic Coding

Using references such as ICD-9-CM, LMRP, CPT Assistant, and HCPCS Level II, our coders:

• Review the patient’s chart.
• Match problems with corresponding numerical codes from the ICD-9 and CPT books.
• Ensure compatibility between diagnosis and procedure codes.

Superbill/Patient Encounter Form

Procedural and diagnostic codes, along with any necessary modifiers, are compiled into a superbill or patient encounter form. This form is then used for billing purposes, detailing the services provided and the related diagnoses.

Quality Checks

Our coding staff, certified and experienced, are closely monitored by certified coders and undergo regular audits by external coding and compliance experts.
