Physicians bring knowledge, rigor, precision, and attention to detail to the care of their patients. The Accurate Coding System™ brings that same level of precision to their coding ensuring accuracy in every claim. Betsy has trained hundreds of physicians using this five-part system.

The Coding Snapshot™ provides the clinician with comparisons of their own coding pattern with other physicians of their own specialty, and in their own group.Physicians constantly ask for data about their own coding pattern and how it compares to their peers. The Coding Snapshot™ provides these comparisons.

• E/M comparisons with other group members
• E/M comparisons with national, CMS specialty specific norms
• Comparison of top 25 codes billed
• Analysis of encounter form/superbill

The Coding Briefing for Clinicians™ educates physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants about coding rules. In small, interactive sessions, Betsy simplifies the complex coding rules for clinicians, giving them knowledge and confidence to bill for the services they provide. The Coding Briefing for Clinicians™ covers the rules related to billing for services that physicians provide each day. After the session, clinicians

• Understand what they need to document for each level of service they provide, and how to select the E/M code
• How to use templates
• The importance of medical necessity
• How to bill for more than one service performed in a single day

The Safety Audit™ compares the medical record documentation with the codes selected by the clinician. Auditing is critical for protecting revenue and insuring compliance. The audit identifies both revenue opportunities and compliance concerns.

• May be prospective or retrospective based on the needs of the group
• Can include training and oversight of on-site auditors
• Can be performed collaboratively with the practice attorney

After the audit, Betsy conducts The Focused Feedback Meeting™ with each provider reviewing the results of the audit, reinforcing the guidelines and rules, and answering questions specific to that clinician's practice. This important one-on-one meeting allows the clinicians to integrate the information. During the meeting, Betsy reviews

• The Coding Snapshot™ with each provider
• The Safety Audit™ results
• The clinician's own practice. This gives the clinician the opportunity to ask questions about their own practice and how to code for the uniques set of services they provide to patients.

Finally, The Research Advantage™ provides definitive coding answers year round. Leaving the research to Betsy is a huge timesaver for on-site staff, and gives administrators confidence in their coding practices. Practices that use The Research Advantage™ option can

• Call Betsy with coding questions year-round
• Ask for clarifications about an existing service
• Ask for research about a new service.

This frees up the practice staff, while providing maximum confidence in the information.
