Staying Updated on Cardiology Coding Keep the
latest ICD-10 CM and PCS, CPT, and HCPCS code
books in the office. Whats more, the American
Heart Association is offering quarterly
newsletters you can enroll in those. Keep tabs
on the CMS website for updates and subscribe to
any publications offered by CMS and state and
local agencies that regulate billing practices.
Or you can simply outsource your medical billing
function to professional billing and coders like
MBC. Complete and Accurate Documentation is the
Key If documentation problems exist, it will
slow down the revenue cycle, decrease billable
expense reimbursements, as well as leave room for
coding inconsistencies which may become a red
flag for auditors.

Always Code to the Specificity Cardiologists
require remembering the basic information of
coding and documentation. There are different
types of cardiology diagnoses and different
coding to take care of. Hence not having
sufficient knowledge may impact your revenue
cycle. To have accurate documentation means no
room for errors and other issues like mismatched
diagnosis and procedure codes. Audit
Often Regular audits whether internal or
external should be encouraged to track common
coding and documentation errors. This will help
in identifying the errors and further educates
your staff. If you are considering letting a 3rd
party medical billing service like MBC come on
board then surely it takes away the hassles of
such billing-related errors and issues. Frequent
audits will ensure correct reimbursement and
documentation.
