Our updated HCCIntelligence™ Premier Resource HCC Coding Reference Guide helps eliminate uncertainty in coding and acts as a quick reference guide for home-based primary care providers. Not only can this resource save you hours of work, but it also can help you build a strong case for reimbursement, ensuring that the full scope of care is covered. The comprehensive resource helps practices pinpoint conditions with risk adjustment weight, offers example diagnosis codes tailored to home-based primary care, and enables practices to enhance diagnosis coding accuracy and address the complexities of their patient population’s healthcare needs. 

To increase revenue and identify growth opportunities, consider our popular Chart Audit package. A nationally certified medical coder and biller will audit the practice’s patient charts, inclusive of a review of a sample of the progress notes, and provide confidential, qualified feedback on selected providers’ documentation practices and coding (learn how these audits can help your practice).
