MedData
takes great pride in our coding staff's exceptional level of
performance and professionalism.
MedData’s coding services, performed in accordance with national
compliance guidelines, is the hub of all financial and clinical data
collection, reporting and billing. Coding involves converting
information found within a medical record (chart) to medical codes
which may be used for billing or reporting purposes. These codes
include Evaluation and Management (E&M), Current Procedural
Terminology (CPT), International Classification of Diseases – 9th
revision (ICD-9) and HealthCare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS).
MedData provides both Professional (Physician) and Facility (Hospital)
coding, as well as ICD-9 and CPT coding services to clients. The
Company’s coding staff routinely meets accuracy levels of 90% or higher
and a fast turnaround time of approximately 3 days (from the date of
chart receipt).
MedData’s coding staff is
required to pass an intensive multi-week classroom training course that
prepares them for the intricate task of combining fast, accurate coding
skills with a comprehensive knowledge of compliance guidelines and
rules. Comprehensive quality assurance reviews are conducted on all new
coders until an accuracy level of at least 90% has been established. In
addition, quarterly audits are performed for all coders; results are
reviewed with the coder and training sessions conducted to address any
deficiencies.
