Professional Medical Coding Services
Medical coding services translate clinical diagnoses, patient chart treatments, and procedures into standardized alphanumeric codes, including ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS Level II. MSRCM's certified medical coders ensure code selection complies with national guidelines, reducing compliance risks, claim denials, and audit exposure.
Failing to audit charts for medical necessity or incorrectly assigning bundling modifiers leads to compliance audits and payment delays. MSRCM provides certified specialists to audit charts and apply coding modifications compliant with major insurance rules.
Our Medical Coding Workflows
Comprehensive chart auditing and coding guidelines compliance.
1. Chart Documentation Review
Certified coders review physician electronic charts, treatment plans, and operative reports to confirm medical documentation backup.
2. ICD-10-CM Coding
Accurate selection of diagnostic codes mapping correctly to secondary conditions to demonstrate medical necessity.
3. CPT & HCPCS Assignment
Selecting correct procedure codes, service units, and materials/drug codes matching physician encounters.
4. Modifier Auditing
Applying crucial modifiers (like -25, -59, -LT, -RT) to protect complex claims from bundling rejections.
5. Internal Compliance QA
Independent audits by coding quality supervisors to check for upcoding or downcoding before clearinghouse batching.
6. Specialty Coding Updates
Updating systems dynamically as AMA and CMS release annual ICD-10 and CPT coding parameters.
Protect Your Practice from Audit and Downcoding Penalties
Payers utilize automated audit software to scan claims for coding inconsistencies or modifier misuse. Outdated coding selections result in downcoded claims—where a payer pays a lower tier than the service rendered—or triggers RAC audits.
MSRCM's certified team stays updated on current billing guidelines, protecting practice compliance while maximizing legitimate reimbursement rates.
