Certified coding professionals perform a confidential and in-depth analysis of a client's Case Mix Index (CMI). This analysis is primarily designed to identify opportunities for:
- Accurate ICD-9-CM and DRG assignment
- Tracking trends in patient mix
- Legitimate reimbursement
- Continuing Education
- Accurate and sustained CMI
Additional Features:
Since coding is just one factor that effects a Hospital's CMI, we will assess other factors that may impact revenue, such as physician documentation and the intensity of services provided.
The primary benefits are potential CMI improvement and ongoing support for compliance processess. These benefits are accomplished through:
- Benchmarking coding performance
- Identifying documentation concerns
- Reviewing targeted DRGs
- Categorizing common coding errors
