FAQs for Medical Coding Services
What is a medical coding service?
A medical coding service translates healthcare diagnoses, procedures, and treatments into standardized codes (ICD-10, CPT, HCPCS) for billing and insurance claims. Outsourcing this to experts ensures coding accuracy, reduces claim denials, and streamlines revenue cycle management for healthcare organizations.
How does your medical coding service ensure accuracy?
Our certified coders (AAPC/AHIMA credentials) follow strict audits, use AI-powered tools to flag errors, and maintain a 95% accuracy guarantee. Quarterly third-party reviews ensure compliance with CMS, HIPAA, and payer-specific guidelines.
Why should I outsource medical coding instead of hiring in-house?
Outsourcing eliminates costs like salaries, benefits, and training while providing 24/7 coding support for urgent cases, access to coders specialized in 30+ medical specialties, reduced risk of coding errors and compliance penalties and scalability during peak volumes or staff shortages.
Are your medical coding services HIPAA-compliant?
Yes. We adhere to HIPAA, HITECH, and SOC 2 standards. All data is encrypted, and coders sign strict confidentiality agreements. Regular audits ensure compliance with patient privacy regulations.
How do you handle coding for complex specialties like oncology or orthopedics?
We assign coders with 5+ years of experience in your specialty. For example: Oncology: Chemotherapy administration (CPT 96401-96549), radiation therapy coding. Orthopedics: Surgical coding for spinal fusions (CPT 22612, 22614) or joint replacements.
What happens if there’s a coding error?
Our proactive audit process catches 98% of errors pre-submission. For rare post-denial issues, we offer free rework and root-cause analysis to prevent recurrence.
Can you integrate with my existing EHR/EMR system?
Yes. We sync seamlessly with Epic, Cerner, Athenahealth, and other EHRs. Real-time data exchange ensures coding updates flow directly into your revenue cycle management system.
How much do medical coding services cost?
Pricing is tailored to your needs (e.g., per-charge, hourly, or monthly plans). Most clients save 20–40% compared to in-house costs while boosting revenue through fewer denials.
Do you support risk adjustment coding (HCC)?
Absolutely. Our coders are certified in HCC coding and ensure accurate documentation of chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, COPD) to optimize RAF scores and Medicare reimbursements.
What’s your turnaround time for coding?
Standard cases: 24–48 hours. Urgent backlogs: Same-day coding with priority queues.
How do you stay updated with coding changes like ICD-11 or CPT updates?
Our coders complete annual AAPC/AHIMA training and attend monthly webinars on updates. We also use AI tools to auto-flag coding changes in your EHR.
Can you help with coding audits or compliance reviews?
Yes. We offer OIG-compliant audits to identify undercoding/overcoding, documentation gaps, and compliance risks. Reports include actionable steps to avoid penalties.
