Transform your revenue cycle with proven consulting services.
Most of the data you use in health care decision making (whether strategic, operational, or financial) comes from coding. CPT and HCPCS (currently) define your services, while ICD-10 define why you provided those services. Getting it right is important now, but it will be CRUCIAL in driving future reimbursement and even care delivery decisions (e.g., team care issues, managing patient panels).
Our certified consultants are your external resource to assess the accuracy of your coding and determine whether documentation supports the services delivered. Our strength is in drilling down to the key issues and efficiently helping you resolve them, both in the short term and for the long term.
