Coding Assessment Tool
When it comes to coding, many physicians err on the side of caution. If you are undercoding, proper coding and documentation can increase practice revenue. If overcoding, corrections can reduce the risk of an audit. This tool compares your overall coding pattern against the Medicare national average and provides a hypothetical estimate of the dollar difference between your current coding pattern and the national average. Start by reviewing the guidelines using the following sources: http://www.cms.hhs.gov/MLNGenInfo/ or http://www.acponline.org/pmc/cpt_code.ppt.- ICD-9 Coding Card 2009
