As any manager or coder who works in the healthcare industry will know, medical coding is one of the more complex and critical processes to maintain. Inaccurate coding, insufficient personnel, or elevated turnaround time present revenue impact that, when accumulated over time, create significant issues for even the largest healthcare organizations. The healthcare revenue cycle must be able to rely on the best medical coders for all coding needs.
This is especially true when considering outsourcing medical coding. Since outsourced coding is an important means of making medical coding operations more efficient and less resource-consuming, it is highly important to partner with only the most reliable sources for outsourced coding solutions.
The Need for Quality Medical Coding Staff
All aspects of the healthcare industry, from the smallest practices to the largest hospital systems, will encounter problems related to medical coding that can negatively affect their revenue stream. Coding management and health information management leaders can find themselves facing elevated levels of DNFB (discharged not final billed) or an increase of vacancies among their in-house medical coding staff. At other times, healthcare managers can partner with an outside source for certified coding staff, but end up unsatisfied with the result.
With medical coding becoming increasingly depended upon technology, many healthcare managers also find themselves facing dips in productivity on the human side of the coding equation. This often occurs when changes in critical platforms (including an electronic health records or EHR platform) take place.
