Specialized Medical Coding Services

Receiving appropriate payment for medical services is a challenge for today’s healthcare providers. With higher numbers of self-pay patients and the increasing complexities of legislative mandates, your practice is at a greater risk for repeated denials, revenue shortfalls, and compliance issues. Without dedicated coding specialists to help manage the process and work with physicians to ensure accurate documentation, growing a healthy, profitable practice can be difficult. Accurate, thorough medical coding is simply a must-have for successful healthcare practices.

HAP Is Your Medical Coding Company

At Healthcare Administrative Partners (HAP), we specialize in coding, the essential process of translating medical treatments and procedures into alpha-numeric codes that indicate what services your patients received and the reasons for them. These codes are filed in every patient’s medical record and sent to insurance companies for accurate recording and billing.

Medical coding services require expertise and precision, as even one omission can lead to a denial from the patient’s insurance. This creates additional headaches for your staff and unnecessarily delayed payments. HAP’s staff is uniquely versed in ICD, CPT and HCPCS, ensuring we file claims correctly the first time and avoid challenges in the future.

Why Should Your Practice Outsource Medical Coding?

It’s no secret that workers in the healthcare industry are overworked already. Documentation errors can lead to incorrect submissions, delays in billing and even potential fraud claims or charges. In the majority of operations, outsourcing coding to a third-party professional results in improvements in:

• Cost containment: While outsourcing medical coding may feel like an unnecessary investment, HAP’s team is primed to help yours. Over time, you can save money by working with our professionals thanks to our low error rate and fast turnaround. And your administrative staff gets a reprieve, as well.
• Resource management: You hired your staff for one reason — to care for your patients to the best of their ability. If they’re focused on learning codes and filing paperwork, they’re taking time away from the people who need them. Outsourcing medical coding services lets them continue to do what they’re good at while we use our knowledge to make your coding services as effective as they can be.
• Claim accuracy: Our years of experience in medical coding have given HAP’s staff unparalleled knowledge of industry codes that we use every day. Whether your practice specializes in radiology, or another field, we have experienced personnel who know the latest guidelines and codes for every submission.
• Billing results: The best time for your clients to pay their bills is as soon as possible after their treatment. The longer it takes to submit these bills, the less likely patients will be prepared to settle their payments when you need them. A knowledgeable, accurate billing team can submit clean claims more efficiently, leading to faster reimbursement and improved compensation rates. Plus, medical coding companies that double as billers can help make your claim submission a smooth and seamless process, with few or no errors and quicker reimbursement for services rendered.

Medical coding providers take the burden of responsibility off the healthcare facility, using a team of highly trained medical coders to take on the task of deciphering medical jargon. Medical coding service companies like HAP hire professionals who are experts in the terminology, procedures and diagnoses of specific subspecialties, ensuring that coding is always precise.
