Coding and reimbursement
Reliable content for accurate results
Coding and reimbursement are dynamic processes. Complex payment systems and regulatory changes—including the ICD-10 transition, HIPAA, Medicare audits and state payment reform—have increased the need for coding accuracy and compliance. At the same time, disruptive technologies—such as natural language processing (NLP), speech recognition and optical character recognition (OCR)—are rapidly changing how coders and other medical records professionals do their work.
