## Experience the benefits of effective medical coding support

### Clear view with change control

A coding solution should offer built-in steps to provide feedback and make reporting available on changes to medical coding. Charge control features, such as a log of changes made and why, give you instant visibility into medical coding corrections.

### Increased coding accuracy

Medical coding standards are increasingly complex and can vary between specialties. A certified medical coder is trained in these regulations and requirements to be better prepared to translate physician reports into accurate medical codes.

### Automated edits for clean claims

NextGen In-line Edits provide enables quick correction of coding errors and reduces claim denials via automated real-time edits at the encounter level. It reduces denials significantly by editing billing before claims creation.

### Automated charge review

A rules engine uses custom, specialty-specific rules along with automation to review and correct charge data before it enters the PM system. This eliminates 75% of the need for coding review and speeds up payments.

### Staff training for coding excellence

A top-rated practice management solution means little if your staff isn’t able to use it. Your staff should be trained in coding, regulatory mandates, and coding best practices to get the most out of your solution.

### Coding compliance audits

Our AAPC, AHIMA, and specialty certified coding specialists can help reduce worry about coding compliance with a thorough audit of your coding process, ensuring that it meets all regulatory requirements.
