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. |
