Benefits of Our Outsourced Healthcare Coding & Auditing Services:

Solve Staffing Issues with Outsourced Healthcare Coding

Many of our client practices are experiencing short-term staffing issues like turnover or leaves of absence. In these cases, the practice needs to be filled immediately, and backfilling or hiring new staff takes too long. MedCycle Solutions employs a team of Certified Professional Coders with the experience your team needs to fill the gaps.

Streamline Workflows with Efficient Outsourced Coding

Outsourcing part or all of the practice’s coding functions can be an effective way to streamline workflows. Outsourcing your healthcare coding ensures that your workforce is efficient and effective and minimizes wasted time. Our clients are assigned dedicated coding staff that learns their practice and works efficiently to ensure accurate and timely medical coding.

Outsourced Coding: A Solution for Small Practices

Small or start-up practices often don’t have the financial resources to hire a full-time certified medical coder on their staff. Our clients use us as their coding team. We become an integral part of their business, becoming familiar with their specialty and the coding intricacies of their specific practice.

Debunking the Cost Myth of This Service

A common myth about outsourced healthcare coding services is that it is more expensive than employing in-house resources. When benefits, PTO, meeting time and lost productivity due to turnover are factored in, outsourced coding is almost always comparable to employing in-house coders.

Auditing for your Practice

A medical coding audit is an internal or external review of a healthcare provider’s coding practices, conducted by examining patient medical records and the claims review and submission process. The goal is to ensure that your group has proper policies, procedures, and processes to achieve quality and compliant medical coding. It is considered best practice to use an outside party to complete your audit to give your practice a fresh perspective. Experienced Auditors can evaluate patient medical records and claims for accuracy and compliance. Findings often help improve claims processing, reduce rejections and/or denials, decrease incorrect coding issues, and improve provider documentation. Audits can help prevent a costly carrier payback by ensuring claims processing is compliant.
