Providing High Quality and More Accurate Compliance and Reimbursement Solutions

Not all coding and claims submission problems are due to coder mistakes. Many of them are based on missing or incomplete information in the clinical documentation that your coders are working from.

Revenue is at risk if providers or clinical staff provide your coders with documentation that is:

  • Illegible – Regulatory and government agencies require documentation to be legible.
  • Unreliable – Treatment documented without a related condition or diagnosis.
  • Lacks precision – Diagnoses not documented to the highest specificity available.
  • Incomplete – Missing information, unfinished notes, or failure to include attending attestation.
  • Unclear – Vague or ambiguous documentation.
  • Late – Documentation that is not recorded within government or regulatory agency guidelines.

A failure to produce sufficiently complete and specific documentation the first time around forces coders to seek clarification in order to code accurately. Inadequate documentation can result in increased physician queries, DNFB, and a decrease in coder productivity. When poor documentation is overlooked, facilities are at risk of increased payer denials as the clinical validity of assigned codes is questioned. Therefore, providing training for clinical documentation improvement will result in timely and quality code assignment, and will help protect your organization’s revenue.

Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) graphic

Coding errors, some of which are based on poor documentation, can cost healthcare providers around $186 million per year, according to a recent AHIMA survey. However, taking proactive steps to measure, monitor, and improve coding/documentation performance can optimize the efficiency and accuracy of your reimbursements.
