Medical CODING DONE RIGHT!

Correct coding facilitates the payment of services and has a positive impact on your cash flow. Knowledge of coding is crucial for both compliance and claim submissions. We acknowledge that your employees or even yourself don't always have the time to get trained continuously, and that's where we come in!

We keep ourselves up-to-date with required ICD-10 guidelines and CPT coding, which enables us to ensure claims are accurate and paid in a timely manner. Allow Mercy Admin Services to code your encounters with a knowledgeable, AHIMA-certified, coder! Our coders stay current with annual ICD-10 and CPT changes and updates. We bring our strong expertise and adhere to local and national coverage determinations, as well as CCI and payer-specific editing rules.

Our team of experienced billers and coders ensure that your claims are accurate and complete, reducing the risk of denials and rejections. If you currently have those already in the process, let us take care of them for you as well!

Our certified experts perform coding audits to evaluate accuracy and to help you determine where employees need guidance and training. We audit diagnoses, procedures, E/M CPT codes, and modifiers based on clinical documentation. 

Upon request, our certified experts can also conduct a physician documentation audit by reviewing and analyzing that physician documentation of final diagnoses and procedures are valid and complete.

We train physicians and coders to ensure they are fully informed on current and annual coding changes. As relevant, we train yourself and your staff on the usage of primary and secondary diagnoses, on the core elements of ICD-10, CPT/HCPCS, and modifier usage. We provide education to coding staff on improvement opportunities – as identified through auditing - to achieve coding quality standards. This will help ensure compliance in coding, optimize reimbursement, and reduce claim denials.
