Magnus Confidential believes that top level coding ensures a healthcare organization has the precise data needed for optimal reimbursement and unquestionable compliance. To that end, an initial assessment, ongoing monitoring and focused education are necessary to maximize your accuracy.
Magnus Confidential offers an integrated solution including:
Phase 1:
- An initial assessment of current coding accuracy and documentation completeness
- Identification of education needs based on the assessment
- Interactive, case-specific education for clinicians and coding personnel
- Comprehensive reports detailing the findings of the review, including financial impact, accuracy rates, and recommendations
Phase 2:
- Quarterly re-assessments
- Trending reports across quarters to monitor improvement
- Focused Education on assessment results and latest regulatory and guideline changes (CPT Assistant, AHA Coding Clinic, CMS guidance)
Phase 3:
- Access to ongoing support for coder questions throughout the year
- Access to teleconferences covering current changes in coding, billing, and reimbursement
These three phases offer CEUs for your coding staff as a part of the project’s education at no additional expense to you. Additionally, these coding validations can be used to meet your compliance plan of annual coding reviews.
Additional information:
- Coding reviews are offered on a pre-billing or post-billing basis.
- This service identifies coding changes that could increase reimbursement or may require payer refunds to ensure compliance.
- Our consultants will perform these services at your facility or remotely. (Many of our clients prefer the off-site review to save travel expense and business interruption.)
- These reviews are available for outpatient hospital services, ambulatory surgery centers, clinics, physician offices, and urgi-care centers.
Our credentialed coding auditors assess the correctness and completeness of codes assigned, modifiers, sequencing, and reimbursement. We review the client records and compare these to the bill and coding summary to ensure all the information is correct to facilitate complete and accurate reimbursement.
