The Coding Process:
- Precoding of the charge tickets.
- Coding of the Diagnosis and the Procedure with reference to the above materials.
- Checking the compatibility of the diagnosis with the procedure code
- Checking for the modifiers in relation to the procedure.
- Checking that the coded codes are the one that are listed in the charge tickets.
- Sending the file for QC (Quality Control).
- The quality control rechecks the complete coding and the pre-coding with all the references available.
- QA (Quality Audit) is done again to give a 100% quality to the file.
- Clarifications and doubts are noted and put into documentation and sent to the client for answers.
