| Professional Medical Coding |
| |
| The Professional Medical Coding program will teach the skills
needed to review diagnoses and operative notes and submit the
properly coded request for reimbursement for the
services/procedures performed, perform periodic auditing of the
physician's coding and billing patterns, provide training to other
physician and ancillary staff on coding issues, and develop new
practice policies in response to changes in compliance law. These
skills will ultimately maximize the physician's profitability. |
