Coding Audits and Education: The Secret to Increased Revenue, Compliance, and Quality Scores

Lindsey Lanning, RHIA, PCMH CCE
Government Incentives Manager
DAS Health

Angie James, MBA, RHIA, CCS
Manager, Hospital Coding
The Christ Hospital Health Network

In this presentation, we will delve into the immense value of coding audits and education within the healthcare industry. We will explore how these practices contribute to increased revenue, overall compliance, and higher quality scores for both healthcare providers and facilities.

The presentation will begin by highlighting the fundamental role of coding audits in ensuring accurate and complete documentation of medical services. We will discuss how regular audits help identify coding errors, inconsistencies, and potential compliance issues, ultimately leading to improved revenue capture. By addressing these issues proactively, healthcare organizations can prevent revenue leakage, maximize reimbursement, and optimize financial performance. Furthermore, we will emphasize the importance of ongoing education in coding practices. Keeping up with the ever-evolving coding guidelines, regulations, and industry best practices is crucial for accurate coding and billing. Through targeted education programs, healthcare professionals can enhance their coding proficiency, reduce errors, and ensure compliance with changing regulatory requirements.

Finally, we will explore the correlation between coding audits, education, and higher quality scores. Accurate coding plays a pivotal role in quality reporting and performance measurement systems. By ensuring proper coding practices, healthcare entities can generate reliable data that drives improved quality scores and rankings. We will discuss how coding audits and education contribute to the overall quality improvement efforts and support data-driven decision-making.

1:45 PM EST - 2:45 PM EST
