Medical Coding
The effective utilization of medical codes with appropriate modifiers is a vital part of the medical billing process for any practice. This makes medical coding one of the backbones and most crucial factors of the healthcare revenue cycle which allow payers and patients reimburse providers for services rendered. Medical coding transforms healthcare diagnosis, procedures, medical services, and equipment into universal medical alphanumeric codes used for claims submission and reimbursement.
Every time a patient is seen by a physician or other healthcare provider, the medical coder has to assign the right codes to that visit so that the practice can be reimbursed for the services rendered. When codes are inaccurate or improperly used, billing delays can occur or claims can be denied. In some cases, using codes improperly can also trigger a practice audit which may result in fines being assessed.
VST Health medical coding services add significant value to healthcare facilities’ coding and overall operations. As earlier implied, a single wrong code can have a great impact on a facility’s reimbursement and revenue cycle, which is why at VST Health, we religiously focus on being 100% compliant with the current coding guidelines.
