2010 Guide to Billing & Coding
All healthcare providers have an obligation to ensure the most rigorous and honest billing and coding procedures possible. Providers make submissions of claims to Medicare, Medicaid, State Units, private insurance companies and literally hundreds of billing intermediaries. The clarity, accuracy and frequency of these claims is critical to timely and full reimbursement, so providers naturally take this component of their operation with the utmost of seriousness.
There are a variety of elements to billing and coding medical claims and other types of formal submissions. The first is accuracy, and is contingent upon having access to the most updated versions for all medical specialties. Physicians and staff must be apprised of CPT changes and the latest DRG codes among other things, because submissions will simply be rejected if an outdated series is used. The Federal government has been specific and rigid in its pronouncements in this regard, refusing to honour submissions which are not properly coded.
The Wholesale Knowledge 2010 Guide to Billing & Coding is designed to simplify your billing and coding. It keeps professionals up to date with not only the latest codes, but also the latest forms and checklists to ensure 100% accuracy in your submissions. And accuracy, as all healthcare professionals know, is the key to quick reimbursement!
