- Flawless Documentation – The material is meticulously documented down to the last detail.
- Cautious Coding – Finally, the medical professional’s annotations are converted into the diagnosis codes by MS DRG (Medicare Severity-Diagnosis Related Group), APR DRG (All Patients Refined Diagnosis Related Groups), and procedure codes using CPT® codebooks and ICD 10 PCS, especially for the IP accounts.

Our medical coders are also certified by regulatory bodies such as AHIMA, CPC, AAPC, and a host of others.
