Coding mistakes often occur because coders do not understand the clinical context of a procedure and physicians do not realize the level of specificity required to properly code a surgery.
In HSMN’s new program, they look at previous cases where this problem occurred and analyze what was billed versus what was performed. HSMN then works with the staff members involved to build a more interactive relationship.
