A health care facility’s and a physician’s financial existence depend on accurate coding and billing. Coding is a difficult undertaking that is linked to the charging of fees and the generating of money. It’s possible to lose a lot of money if you don’t capture all of the charges linked with a patient interaction. In terms of collecting reimbursement from a third-party payer, medical necessity is also important in the contract with the institution or physician (e.g., an insurance company).
1st part
Define the word “medical necessity” and the criteria for determining it for this Discussion Board
Part two
The codes will be allocated to the patient and placed on the claim for payment once the diagnosis has been established and the services and treatments have been ordered.
This method must be understood by health care workers in order to get correct reimbursement. Think about the following issues:
Why is it critical to assign the appropriate codes to a patient’s diagnoses, treatments, and procedures?
What are the consequences of sending third-party payers incorrect coding and billing errors?
