CardiologyCoder.Com, Inc. is dedicated to “Compliance And Revenue Enhancement” for practicing cardiologists. Our cardiology “C.A.R.E.” initiative is being accomplished through a series of highly effective service and product offerings:

Physician Training
Physician compliance with applicable coding and documentation standards is not optional. However, you don’t need to be board or frightened while learning what the rules are. You also deserve to learn from someone who is dedicated to your specialty. Jim Collins, President of CardiologyCoder.com, has effectively trained several thousand cardiologists over the past fifteen years. His dedication to the field of cardiology allows him to connect with physicians and bridge the gap between patient care and illogical regulations. Learn More

Staff Training
We understand the unique perspective of cardiology coders; with limited clinical background, they must decipher complex procedural reports and apply the most complex coding regulations in existence. To aide in this difficult task, CardiologyCoder.Com publishes a monthly newsletter that helps cultivate in-house cardiology coding expertise and we provide training programs tailored to billing staff.

Chart Auditing
With the goal of Compliance And Revenue Enhancement, we will audit ten cardiology procedural notes for your practice: echocardiography, myocardial perfusion, coronary, peripheral, electrophysiology, pacemaker, or defibrillator services. You will receive a written report that contains patient-by-patient findings and recommendations. Educational guidance will be provided where appropriate to explain identified concerns and to describe best practice documentation and coding techniques. As soon as we receive your order we will contact you to define the audit sample and to initiate the data gathering process. Learn More

Audit Tools
The volume and complexity of applicable coding and documentation regulations can be overwhelming. When assigning billing codes for office and hospital visits your physicians must accurately choose the type and level of service based on complex guidelines developed by the American Medical Association and The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. When assigning billing codes for procedures, your coding staff must accurately decipher operative reports and follow several cryptic sets of guidelines developed by specialty societies, Medicare, and government contractors. Learn More

Advocacy
Many of the rules that cardiologists must adhere to are illogical and unfair. We have successfully appealed several payer audits that originally found problems with coding or documentation and we have successfully facilitated the revision of numerous unfair coding and coverage guidelines. Updates regarding our advocacy efforts are frequently provided to subscribers of our monthly newsletter. Visit our advocacy page now to see what we are currently working on, voice your support or objections, and recommend future advocacy efforts. Learn More
