Payment integrity programs are often afflicted by the symptoms of claim inaccuracies: costly follow-ups, payment delays and administrative friction. Many treat the symptoms, but few address the underlying issue. The best path to enduring payment integrity is not repeated correction – it’s prevention.
Our provider education program directly tackles the principal causes of inaccuracies by teaching proper coding and billing practices, reinforcing precise clinical documentation and fostering regulatory compliance. This significantly reduces costly rework and minimizes provider abrasion.
Our provider education program is informed by our team of specialized industry experts, who bring more than 30 years of industry experience. With extensive backgrounds, training and certifications in healthcare management and clinical coding, our approach is designed to focus on the causes of inaccuracies and how to address them, resulting in reduced cost and minimization of provider abrasion. We focus on:
Accurate medical coding relies on strong clinical documentation, directly affecting reimbursement, compliance, and patient care. Our provider education program helps providers understand how to align coding with documentation and billing to reduce errors and ensure regulatory adherence. We emphasize best practices for capturing the full severity of a patient’s condition, properly linking diagnoses to services rendered and documenting medical necessity to justify care. This comprehensive approach strengthens payment accuracy while supporting better clinical and operational outcomes.
Even minor coding missteps can lead to significant financial and compliance risks. Our provider education program outlines common pitfalls, such as upcoding and downcoding, which can result in noncompliance and missed revenue opportunities. We also clarify the nuances of bundling and unbundling services, where incorrect applications can trigger audits or lost reimbursement. By improving awareness of these common errors, we help providers code with greater accuracy and confidence.
Compliance with healthcare regulations is essential to minimizing risk and ensuring accurate reimbursement. Our provider education program covers key requirements such as HIPAA privacy rules, the False Claims Act and OIG compliance.
