Medical coding services is a time-intensive process that involves converting medical diagnosis, procedures, and other vital aspects of healthcare into universal medical alphanumeric codes. Medical coders are responsible for extracting information from a healthcare provider’s records, laboratory results, and other sources and transform it into codes which are then used for the purpose of medical billing.
Mastering accurate medical coding services is easier said than done. Given the propensity of errors, precise medical coding is crucial to avoid claim denials and ensure seamless reimbursement processes
At NAHL, we strive to make sure your healthcare facility does not run into these issues, allowing your healthcare staff to direct their full attention to your patients instead.
Our team of AAPC (American Academy of Professional Coders) – certified clinical coders leave no stone unturned in helping you avoid coding errors, mitigating risk by ensuring coder compliance, and improving the reputation of your organization through a cohesive medical coding process. No undocumented information is coded and our clinical coders are well-versed in meeting payer-specific coding requirements. We provide the following coding services:
At the onset of our medical coding process, we retrieve medical records provided by the healthcare facility. This can be a copy of a patient’s medical charts, medical documents of their diagnosis, and/or a copy of the patient’s superbill with their diagnosis.
Once all medical records have been retrieved, these are securely transferred to our certified coders so as not to compromise the sensitivity of patient data.
Our coders will carefully review the patient’s records and assign appropriate diagnosis codes (ICD) and procedure codes (CPT).
Depending on your preference, once the coding process is complete, the coded documents can be returned to the physician or our team can enter these claims into the billing system for further processing.
Coded documents are forwarded to our Quality Assurance team for the identification and correction of possible coding errors.
As one of the leading medical coding companies in the US, NAHL understands the role of medical coding services in driving your healthcare revenue cycle.
