Medical coding is a vital step in the healthcare revenue cycle, transforming healthcare diagnoses, procedures, services, and equipment into universal medical alphanumeric codes. This process ensures that medical services provided to patients are accurately translated into standardized codes that are used for billing, insurance claims, and statistical analysis. Thrive Technologies offers comprehensive medical coding services, ensuring that healthcare providers receive accurate and timely reimbursement while maintaining compliance with industry standards and regulations.
Our coding process begins with a detailed review of the healthcare provider’s clinical documentation. We carefully analyze patient records, physician notes, diagnostic reports, and other relevant information to ensure that all necessary details are captured for accurate coding.
Once the coding is complete, the codes are integrated into the billing process, and the claim is submitted to the payer. Our accurate coding ensures that claims are processed smoothly, reducing the risk of denials or delays in reimbursement.
Based on the clinical documentation, our certified coders assign the appropriate ICD-10, CPT, or HCPCS codes. We ensure that the codes accurately reflect the diagnoses, procedures, and services provided. Modifiers are added as needed to provide additional context.
If any coding-related issues arise, such as denials or rejections, we review the claim, identify the problem, and correct the codes. We work closely with billing teams and insurance payers to ensure that the claim is reprocessed accurately.
