Comprehensive ICD-10 and CPT Coding Solutions
While ICD codes are used to identify medical diagnoses and necessities, CPT codes are used to identify medical procedures and services and are primarily used for billing and reimbursements.
ICD-10 Codes
With massive expansion of codes in ICD-10 and increased specificity, key concepts (for example, laterality (left or right), types of fractures, initial or subsequent encounter for injuries, trimester of pregnancy, details about diabetes and related complications) must all be accurately documented in your notes. This will help us to assign the most appropriate codes depending on the particular condition. Our coding professionals are knowledgeable in:
- ICD-10-CM combination codes
- ICD-10-CM activity and occurrence codes
- ICD-10-PCS codes for general and root operations
- Z-codes for reasons for encounters
ICD-10-CM consists of diagnosis codes and ICD-10-PCS consists of procedure codes.
CPT Codes
Our coders are up to date with the changing procedure codes as well. CPT codes are grouped into three main categories:
- CATEGORY I: These codes cover procedures, services, devices, drugs, and vaccines widely used and accepted in the medical community.
- CATEGORY II: Codes in this category track performance measures and quality of care, such as patient follow-up, to evaluate healthcare quality.
- CATEGORY III: These codes apply to services and procedures involving emerging technologies, typically assigned to new or experimental procedures not yet widely adopted in medical practice.
- Distinct medical coding systems – ICD-10, CPT, CDT and HCPCS
- Bundling and unbundling procedures
- Payer-specific requirements (Medicare, Medicaid and all commercial insurance)
- The latest AMA and CMS guidelines
- State / federal government compliance
