When it comes to medical coding, Orlando and the Central Florida region comprise one of Florida's busiest, most competitive markets. The Florida Hospital system alone boasts seven Orlando hospitals, plus 11 more spread throughout the state. Additional hospitals and hundreds of smaller clinics and medical practices throughout the region mean plenty of room for dozens of companies offering medical coding. Orlando indeed has numerous choices for professional medical coding. But iATROS Healthcare Solutions stands above the others by offering not just medical coding, but a full slate of revenue cycle management services that complement our expert medical coding.
Orlando physicians have a pressing need for fast, accurate medical coding. Rising business and technology costs, cuts in Medicare and other reimbursements and a base of patients having financial troubles of their own have pushed cash flow to an all-time low for many practices. And insurance companies look for any reason to deny a claim. If your medical coding isn't 100% accurate, your insurance claim can be denied, or worse, flagged for potential fraud. Both are becoming all-too-common scenarios in part because of intensified regulation and major changes and additions to coding sets. ICD-10 will increase the number of diagnosis codes from 13,000 to 68,000, and the number of procedure codes from 11,000 to 87,000. In a survey by the American Academy of Professional Coders, 26.6% of responding medical coding professionals said they regularly are expected to code outside of their expertise, and that 26.7% of coders lack adequate time to research coding and compliance issues.
These changes and others sure to come with America's federal healthcare reform efforts make for a heavy burden on your medical coding Orlando staff, particularly those who also carry administrative and patient service duties, as is the case with many small and mid-sized practices. By trusting iATROS Healthcare Solutions with their medical coding, Orlando area practitioners can ease the burden on their staff, streamline their operations and focus more attention on the true key to their practices' success - treating patients.
