Address coding vulnerabilities to protect practice revenue.

There’s nothing more frustrating than rendering a service and not being paid. Sometimes the problem comes down to a single code.

Nuanced coding rules are difficult to understand, and physicians aren’t taught this information in medical school. Still, health care is a business. As business owners, physicians need to know how they’re paid, including what codes to use, what modifiers to append and what details to document. Brushing up on common coding mistakes helps avoid costly recoupments and denials. We asked several experts, all certified professional coders, for their best advice on how physicians can maintain compliance and collect all the revenue to which they’re entitled.
