Looking at just one service MR-PM offers can underscore the difference they can make in the life of a surgical practice. Diagnostic coding, for example, is a frequently troublesome area for any office. Matching the correct codes to the correct procedure is the secret to prompt accounts receivable. However, last year the number of codes necessary for proper diagnosis and billing increased by nearly 17,000 with the implementation of ICD-10. A formerly complete diagnosis, such as a knee surgery, is now deemed insufficient; there now needs to be more specific information. Was it the entire knee? Was it the ligaments on one side or the other? Was the patella involved? An incorrect identification code can cause the insurance claim to be rejected, or worse, partially funded for an incomplete procedure. MR-PM has their own dedicated, credentialed Coding Department, experienced in all aspects of the coding process. The staff maintains certifications in Certified Professional Coder( CPC), as well as Advanced Coding Specialist in Anesthesia( ACS-AN). The firm’ s philosophy is succinct:“ Coding and billing correctly is mandatory; our coding department possesses the skills and experience to ensure the proper coding for surgical, anesthesia and pain management services performed.”
