What Does a Medical Coding Company Do?

When a doctor makes notes about a patient, a medical coder is required to translate that jargon into the coding language that’s understood by all healthcare and insurance professionals. Because there are so many different codes, and they all need to be recorded correctly, a lot of healthcare facilities opt to outsource medical coding services to a third party. The risk of error in medical coding can be high — especially for healthcare staff who are already overwhelmed with their day-to-day duties. Listing an incorrect code could translate to claiming a service that was not rendered, resulting in delayed reimbursement at best and potential fraud charges at worst.

Medical coding providers take the burden of responsibility off the healthcare facility, using a team of highly trained medical coders to take on the task of deciphering medical jargon. The staff members at a medical coding company are trained professionals who are cognizant of the minutia of the healthcare world, including diagnoses, medical terminology and procedures. Medical coders are also specialized healthcare, making them experts in the nuances of documenting the specialty they are supporting. 

For example, coding service providers, like Mhites, hire medical coding professionals who are experts in the terminology, procedures and diagnoses of specific subspecialties, ensuring that coding is always precise. 

Why Should Your Practice Outsource Medical Coding?

There are several reasons to outsource medical coding.

• Cost Containment: Outsourcing radiology coding services can decrease administrative cost.
• Improving accuracy: Since a team of trained professionals is taking care of the coding, you can expect a higher degree of accuracy, which then translates to fewer claim denials and quicker reimbursement.
• Resource Reallocation/Management : Leave your practice to do what it does best, which is treating  patients. 

Outsourcing coding  saves time, allowing you to focus on your practice rather than on documentation. Plus, coding companies that double as billers can help make your claim submission a smooth and seamless process, with little to no errors and quicker reimbursement for services rendered.
