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 accuracy with a certified coder

Medical coding standards are increasingly complex. A certified medical coder is trained in these regulations and requirements and is better prepared to translate physicians’ reports into accurate medical codes. Coders should also be experienced in your practice’s medical specialty.

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 that uses custom and specialty-specific rules along with automation can review and correct charge data before it enters the PM system—eliminating 75% of the need for coding review. This improves accuracy and speeds up payments.
