Physician offices often rely on their clerical or other non-certified coding staff to complete their coding and charge capture functions. This is usually to save money on the cost of hiring and maintaining coding staff. However, inaccurate coding can result in a number of costly mistakes that could affect your bottom line and prevent you from purchasing the equipment, clinical staff or other resources needed to care for your patients. Statistics show that about 1/4 of all medical practice income is lost due to improper coding, underpricing of charges, charges not being submitted in a timely manner, or worse, not at all! That's millions of dollars lost every year because of medical billing and coding errors. Don't be another statistic!
Physician's Choice of Certified Coders (PCOCC) can reverse this trend for your practice by helping you recoup loss revenue due to under-coding or missed billing; doing so in a way that is cost effective for your practice. We can put sure fire processes in place to ensure that all revenue owed to you is captured in an efficient and timely manner. More importantly, we can help you identify potential compliance risks before the Medicare Auditors or OIG come knocking on your door.
