Medical coding is what experts at Pacific are deft at.
Our Medical coders are proficient with CPT coding (Current Procedural
Terminology) across various specialities, like Cardiology, Radiology,
Neurology, Infectious Diseases, Internal Medicine, Pathology and
Oncology. Besides, we also follow HIPAA regulations and work under the
AHIMA rules.
At Pacific, we also do CPT and HCPCS coding for
surgery, lab and other tests based on the guidelines of AMA and CMS.
Correct CPT or procedural coding is a must to do for any healthcare
business, so as to eliminate chances of coding errors during the billing
process and reducing the cost and insecurity involved in patient claims
management. Thus, we take onus of our healthcare clients’ diagnostic and
procedural coding, so that they rest assure for their claims and invest
their time and efforts in more fruitful activities.
Our medical coders competently follow a systematic procedure to
assign CPT codes to patients’ healthcare problems. At first, the
patient’ chart (which is prepared after he first visits the doctor) is
presented to the coder, who then read and analyze it to match the
problem with its corresponding numerical code and then assign the proper
diagnosis code with its numerical code from the most current (recently
update by AMA) CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) Book. The Coding
team checks the compatibility of the diagnosis with the procedure code.
Proper CPT coding informs the payer (patient’s medical insurance
company) of the medical services that has been provided to the patient,
along with listing the diagnosis, symptom, complaint, condition or
problem (e.g., the reason for performing the service), thus helps in
medical billing and claim reimbursements.
