Inaccurate Documentation- Common Problem in OB GYN Billing Are your coders performing coding operations using incomplete documentation? In order to process insurance claim reimbursement in a speedy manner, coding for diagnosis and treatment procedures is usually done with unfinished documentation. Missing information results in inaccurate coding, causing revenue loss and compliance issues.
Providers need to understand that accurate documentation is the basis of coding, billing, claim submission and follow-ups with insurance companies. Your practice can receive timely payment for services only when the coding is correct and accuracy in coding entirely depends on the precision of clinical documentation.
