Medical Coding Service – When You Need to Boost Revenue
Medical billing relies on having precise and thorough documentation in the medical record. This is where coding comes in as it translates your intellectual services and labor into billable items for insurance purposes and documents the value of your service. The certified medical coding service experts at ebix have a strong reputation for excellence in this area.
Perhaps most noteworthy are the ICD-10 codes. The ICD-10 codes are currently the cornerstone of classifying diseases, injuries, health encounters, and inpatient procedures in morbidity settings. Because of this, the ebix, Inc. team has honed medical coding skills and business processes to meet the needs of independent physicians.
Medical coding involves translating a healthcare provider’s description of a patient’s illness, injury, or treatment into universal medical code numbers. The ultimate goal of medical coding is to create an insurance claim application that accurately reflects the services provided and the corresponding medical diagnosis. To achieve this, our team of expert-certified medical coders ensures that the services are properly aligned with the correct medical diagnosis code, which leads to higher reimbursement rates. This ensures you get reimbursed correctly and reduces claim denials.
