Proper coding is critical to practice success. Practices that aren’t coding to their level of service rendered increase their risk of an unnecessary audit and potentially loose out on millions.
Use this tool to see how your practice compares to other providers in your specialty, courtesy of the AAPC.

Chart audits are the best method for determining coding accuracy, as well as verifying documentation requirements. We recommend quarterly audits of random charts for each provider, choosing 2-3 charts per service and disease type.
