back			Coding, Reimbursement, and Compliance Services   The impact CPT, ICD-9, and HCPCS coding and billing has on your organization's financial performance is tremendous.  Prudent healthcare organizations use coding information to: Bill and be reimbursed for services Monitor clinical and business patterns Negotiate third-party payer contracts    Even, calculate physicians' W-2 compensation. If coding is not performed correctly, data will be faulty, poor business decisions may result, and overall revenue will not reflect services provided.  Not only does problematic coding have a revenue impact, inefficient billing processes increase costs directly (e.g., staffing, re-submissions, high accounts receivable) and indirectly (e.g., frustration levels and morale).
