Who codes our visits, and who checks them?

We code every visit, check every claim and never upcode

Your clinicians document the care. We code every visit from your clinician's signed note. When a note does not support a code, we ask your clinician to clarify. Every code, unit and modifier is checked against the documentation and the payer's rules before the claim goes out.

Claims go out under your National Provider Identifier (NPI). Medicare's enrollment form says it plainly: "Even if you use a billing agency/agent, you remain responsible for the accuracy of the claims submitted on your behalf."1 That is why we check every one.

  • We never upcode. Software never raises a code level or adds units.
  • We never ask a clinician to change a signed note to get a claim paid.

How coding and charge review work

What does it cost?

3.5% of what we collect for you

One fee covers the whole billing operation, from coding to your live dashboard. Here it is next to the cost of one in-house biller.

Pricing, and how we compare with a billing company

How do we switch, and can we leave?

We plan the handover before anything changes

  1. 01

    Sign the service agreement and the Business Associate Agreement (BAA)

    No patient data moves before the BAA is signed.

  2. 02

    Set up our access to your EMR and clearinghouse

    You keep your EMR.

  3. 03

    List every open claim

    Each with an owner and a deadline.

  4. 04

    Agree a start date

    Who works claims for visits before it, and who works them after.

  5. 05

    Your dashboard goes live

    Every claim, live, from the first one we send.

  • You keep your EMR and your records. If you leave, the BAA requires us to return or destroy your patients' information, or, where that is not possible, to keep protecting it.6
