HOW WE DELIVER

Our disciplined 5-step
coding quality framework.

Every encounter passes through a structured workflow that combines credentialed coder scrutiny, automated NCCI edit cross-checks, and supervisory audit oversight.

01

Secure Chart Intake & Queue Retrieval

Our certified coders access completed encounters directly inside your EHR or electronic coding queues with full HIPAA audit security.

02

Comprehensive Code Assignment

Assigning ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes, secondary comorbidities, CPT procedural codes, and precise modifiers adhering to current CMS/AMA rules.

03

CDI Physician Query Initiation

When documentation lacks clinical specificity, non-leading query templates are generated for attending physicians to validate diagnoses.

04

Two-Tiered Quality Assurance

Senior coding supervisors conduct automated rules validation and manual peer reviews on randomized and high-dollar encounter batches.

05

Direct EHR Sign-Off & Bill Drop

Approved coded charts are finalized in your EHR and released immediately to the billing scrubbing queue for clean clearinghouse submission.

EHR PLATFORMS & ENCODERS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Medical coding questions
answered clearly.

Find direct information on our coder certifications, quality review benchmarks, turnarounds, and encoder integrations.

What certifications do your medical coders hold?

100% of our medical coding specialists hold active credentials from the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) or the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA). Credentials include CPC, COC, CIC, CRC, CCS, and CCS-P, with continuous annual education on ICD-10 updates.

What is your guaranteed coding accuracy rate?

We guarantee an audit-tested coding accuracy rate of 95% or higher. Our dual-tiered quality assurance process subjects chart batches to rigorous pre-bill checks, verifying modifier logic, bundling edits (NCCI), and medical necessity.

How do you handle physician documentation questions or ambiguities?

Our coders and CDI specialists utilize compliant, non-leading query protocols aligned with ACDIS and AHIMA standards, enabling clinicians to clarify diagnoses without administrative disruption.

Can your team help clear an unbilled coding backlog (DNFB)?

Yes. We specialize in rapid-deployment surge coding teams capable of ramping up within 48 to 72 hours to eliminate Discharged Not Final Billed (DNFB) queues, reducing unbilled days and accelerating reimbursement.
