Family Practice

Family practitioners can be burdened by administrative concerns, such as coding, that get in the way of the practice of medicine. With Aviacode as your family practice coding partner, you’ll experience better coding and simplified management, all without the burden of coding in-house.

Coding is a concern that most family physicians could do without. Evaluation and management (E&M) rules for family practice coding can make a simple coding job complex. Simple exams and treatments can lead to Level 1 and 2 consults. However, care is rarely that simple. Consults at Levels 3, 4 and 5, while commanding more revenue due to increased complexity, require specific documentation and a command of coding rules.

Family practitioners intent on employing coding staff may find it difficult to attract coders with the right experience. But family practices that outsource their coding to companies such as Aviacode are seeing immediate returns: faster time to revenue, increased coding compliance and administrative savings.

Aviacode is the smart choice for family practice medical coding.

If you’re ready to find a family practice coding partner, there are many reasons to make Aviacode your first choice:

• We have a proprietary remote coding system—ProCoder™, a flexible remote coding platform that helps you see consistent, reliable and predictable coding results.
• We employ experienced family practice coders whom we constantly challenge to code at a high degree of productivity and compliance.
• We help improve clinical documentation by alerting practice managers and doctors of specific ways their documentation practices can be corrected to improve reimbursement and compliance.
• We avoid common family practice coding errors, including errors related to incorrect coding, medical necessity and complications and co-morbidities:
• Incorrect coding: Often, practices use a “superbill,” which contains a short checklist of codes. Because the codes aren’t specific enough for much of the care provided, practitioners may check a box that is closest to, but not precisely, the visit’s level of care.
• Medical necessity: Family practice billing is ripe for denials if the documented diagnosis isn’t specific enough to meet medical necessity.
• Complications and co-morbidities: Secondary diagnoses aren’t always coded by inexperienced coders. Rules and edits provided in our ProCoder system help us avoid these and other common mistakes.
• We provide quality, consistent results. Aviacode’s coding auditors, ProCoder coding references and in-house coding experts help make sure the coding we provide you is consistently excellent.

Aviacode has been a pioneer in remote coding since 1999. Trust Aviacode for your family practice coding.
