We can help!
HIP (866) 622-8300



Healthcare systems across the U.S. struggle to recruit and sustain good coding support. Unfortunately, our colleges prepare students to pass their credentialing exams, but do little to train good Coders. Much of this process is learned "on the job" which leads to:

  • Lost reimbursement
  • Compliance risk
  • Denied claims
  • High DNFB levels
  • Cashflow delays
  • Coder turnover



With today's regulatory climate and transition to value-based reimbursement, accuracy has never been more important. Since the implementation of ICD-10, Coders have been challenged to keep-up with thousands of Medicare/Medicaid regulations. They're also required to work in close collaboration Clinical Documentation Teams, Physicians, Compliance department, Revenue Integrity and Quality / Case Management departments.
