Accuracy Has Never Been More Important

March 6, 2012 / Melody Smith / Comments Off on Accuracy Has Never Been More Important

AccuChecker.com has launched a new website that offers even more user-friendly functionalities. Some of the newest features are in compliance with the new ICD-10 classification system.

Virtual Strategy Magazine brought this news to our attention in their article, “AccuChecker.com – Medical Claim Coding Application Announces New Website for 2012.” The importance of accuracy in medical coding has never been greater. With the new ICD-10 implementation around the corner, the impact of errors in coding could have monumental impacts on the financial aspects of a healthcare provider.

Medical coding requires specialized expertise and systems tailored to the regulatory requirements in which health care providers, hospitals, and doctors deliver their services. Training is very important. That is why Access Innovations, Inc. provides training to a client’s staff and then offers quality assurance and validation services that can:

  • Minimize the risk of a coding error
  • Identify inappropriate or inadvertently applied tags
  • Display a “map” of coding distributions to allow management to get a bird’s-eye view of the coding assignment flow.
