Diagnostic Coding is yet another area where our medical
coders at Pacific BPO hold expertise in. Medical diagnostic coding is
the way by which medical diagnoses are converted into universal medical
code numbers, and is done to help healthcare businesses (hospitals,
clinics etc) in medical billing and claim reimbursements from the
patients’ medical insurance companies.
There are innumerable
diseases and treatments in the field of health and medicine. Thus,
medical classification is required for disease analysis, analysis of
therapeutic actions, reimbursements of medical bills, surveillance of
epidemic breakouts and decision support systems. The details used for
medical classification or diagnostic coding are usually taken from host
of sources within the patients’ medical records, such as the
transcription of the doctor's notes, laboratory results, radiological
results, and other such sources.
Diagnostic Coding is done using
ICD (International Classification of Diseases) codes. Our medical coders
at Pacific Bpo use the most current ICD-9 book for doing diagnostic
coding for the patients. The ICD coding is done keeping in mind the
Insurance and governmental regulatory requirements and Payer-specific
coding requirements. Our medical coders are certified by AAPC (American
Association of Professional Coder) and work under the AHIMA rules.
Besides, we also use some of the most competent and state-of-the-art
coding softwares like - EncoderPro, FLashcode and CodeLink, to ensure
correct and verifiable diagnostic coding of the patients’ health
diseases.
Our Medical coders are also proficient in CPT coding or
Procedural coding across various specialities. With our potent
procedural and diagnostic coding, we at Pacific BPO strive to make
medical billing and medical claim reimbursements a duck soup for our
healthcare clients. Also, our cost effective services aim at providing
utmost satisfaction to clients.
