Time for a Coding Audit?

Running a busy practice can be a real challenge. There are times all you can do every day is just “keep up”. This is when you start working IN your practice instead of ON it. 

Your billing is a crucial piece of the practice management puzzle, which is why it’s a great strategic move for your business to put your medical coding it in the hands of experts like MEREM Healthcare Solutions.

3 things to look for to know if your coder is coding services properly. 

1. If you currently have someone internally handling your medical billing process, do you feel they have a really good handle on it and are up to date with the new CPT coding changes?
2. Do you have revenue falling through the cracks?
3. Are you confident that denials are being worked on and not just going ignored?

Your billing is a crucial piece in the profitability picture, which is why it’s a great strategic move in your business to put it in the hands of experts. Perhaps an audit of your billing process is in order.
