ICD-10 Preparedness: Are You Ready?
Are you prepared for ICD-10 coding guidelines?
Ovation RCS has taken a proactive approach to assuring our medical coders are proficient in ICD-10 coding guidelines. The approach to preparedness includes developing a training infrastructure to teach ICD-10 coding guidelines to current and future coders, on-going training, practice, monitoring, and feedback to assure high quality expectations are achieved. With the changes in the U.S. healthcare resulting from increasing costs, cost of medical insurance, changing coverage restrictions and allowances, and the revised ICD-10 codes, health care providers are rightfully concerned with the quality and accuracy of the medical record coding. At the core of the Ovation RCS Coding service is the dedication to quality, compliance and optimum reimbursement to providers.
Our coding operations team codes more than 1 million records per month following ICD-10 guidelines in support of our client’s dual-coding initiatives. The preparedness initiative is designed to assure sufficient practice and coding quality through training and dual coding practice. Coding quality is monitored closely and training & improvement initiatives developed to assure coder proficiency with ICD-10 coding guidelines.
Ovation RCS coders have expertise in CPT, HCPCS, ICD-9, and ICD-10 coding for inpatient and outpatient claims, including all major clinical specialties. Each coder receives extensive medical record coding, HIPAA, and LMRP compliance training and review to assure accuracy standards are achieved. Quality assurance teams monitor ongoing coder accuracy in assigned diagnosis codes, CPT codes, DRGs, CC, and MCC conditions assigned, proper use of modifiers, appropriateness of medical record supporting documentation, and customer and insurance specific directives.
