Are you having trouble keeping your Accounts Receivable (A/R) days under control? Is a lack of skilled resources leading to a backlog of claims that need to be processed? With ICD-10, the potential for the number of denials is certain to go up if you are not prepared. It is critical to success to have access to a large pool of qualified resources that work in any Practice Management System and understand how to quickly and correctly analyze account history, appeal denied claims, and get timely turnaround to recover on and close out A/R. Analysts who trend denials and look for patterns of deficiency will increase cash flow and reduce aging A/R.

Medical coding is a form of translation in which every aspect of a patient’s care is documented so it can be properly billed. Numeric or alphanumeric coding is used in lieu of traditional documentation to accurately catalog the unique reasons for each patient’s visit to a clinic or hospital. This includes the reason for the visit, the diagnosis, any tests that may have been requisitioned and any medications prescribed.

Each aspect of the visit has its own code, and these codes are all organized in a specific way to create a succinct record of the patient’s visit. There are three types of codes generally used for medical coding

ICD: The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) code is used to describe the causes of the patient’s injury, illness or death. Established by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the 1940s, the ICD code is updated often, which is why it’s followed by a numeral — that numeral indicates the version of the code. For example, ICD-10 is the 10th version of the code. The codes are then further given clinical modifications, which help expand the number of illnesses, injuries and causes of death to provide even more specific documentation.

CPT: The Current Procedure Terminology (CPT) code is used to document the medical procedures the patient receives during their clinical visit. These codes are divided into three categories. The first category is further divided into sub-categories of numeric codes, which correlate to specific medical fields, such as radiology, surgery and anesthesia. The second category consists of alphanumeric codes to identify performance measurement as well as potential laboratory or radiology test results. The final category of codes is related to up and coming medical technology.

HCPCS: The Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HSCPC) is similar to CPT codes and is used to record medical services, equipment or procedures not covered by CPT coding. It’s also the official coding system for Medicare and Medicaid, making it one of the most important codes for a medical coder to know.

All these codes need to correctly and accurately correspond to a medical service or procedure. Any incorrect claim can lead to claim denial, which is why it’s extremely important to ensure medical coders are well-versed in the coding procedures.
