Facility coding must be accomplished quickly and accurately on the first attempt to avoid expensive errors and delays.
Medical coding, particularly at the facility level, is a highly intricate process. It must be accomplished quickly and accurately on the first attempt to avoid expensive errors and delays. Thus, it necessitates skilled professionals like medical coding vendors and consultants who have in-depth knowledge of the multifaceted guidelines and regulations. These professionals ensure that the data is accurately coded and depicts a true account of every patient’s hospital visit.
Noremac offers thorough solutions for all your facility coding requirements, using highly experienced and certified coding professionals. Our coders hold credentials from AHIMA such as Certified Coding Specialist (CCS), and Registered Health Information Technology (RHIT); or from AAPC as Certified Inpatient Coder (CIC), or Certified Outpatient Coder (COC). Many of our coders hold multiple certifications, offering a more versatile approach to coding patient records.
At Noremac, delivering high-quality services to all our clients is paramount. We have a quality assurance (QA) program that includes pre-bill reviews for new staff, clients, or patient types. We confirm our coders’ abilities early on to prevent costly errors for our clients. All our established coders are regularly evaluated by QA on 5% of coded charts.
Various risk adjustment factors (RAFs) like demographics or chronic conditions can make a patient more prone to regular or expensive medical care.
Pro-fee and facility coding get complicated when risk adjustment (RA) elements come into play. Various risk adjustment factors (RAFs) like demographics or chronic conditions can make a patient more prone to regular or expensive medical care. CMS uses a hierarchical condition category (HCC) approach to evaluate each patient’s risk score, with diagnoses reported through ICD-10 CM coding. However, not all diagnoses require risk adjustment coding, though chronic conditions usually do.
Correct risk adjustment can’t occur without accurate, up-to-date patient data to establish the previous year’s risk score or complete documentation of all administered medical care. Therefore, substantial work goes into preparing and completing the submission of CMS and other risk-adjusted claims.
We are well-equipped to handle your HCC coding and data validation reviews, as part of our Risk Adjustment Coding Services. We have the necessary expertise to code and perform comprehensive retrospective reviews of your risk adjustment coding, maximizing revenue and ensuring compliance. With accurate coding, you will obtain a precise risk adjustment factor (RAF), which can help lower your medical loss ratio (MLR) calculations.
