In the highly regulated & ever-changing healthcare field, accurate coding requires professionals trained in up-to-date regulations and codes.
The HIPAA Transaction and Code Set Rule requires providers to use national medical code sets that are valid at the time a service is provided so you need coding experts who have the most current coding information. Peak understands that new advances in medicine and increasing compliance regulations demand highly educated coders and we provide the best.

The Importance of Physician Education
The documentation of the practice of medicine has become critical to ensuring the viability of hospital and physician organizations. Physician documentation is the sole source in substantiating the care received and auditors and payers use this documentation in the medical record to determine the quality and efficiency of the care provided. Coding professionals are only able to code based upon the physician documentation and unfortunately, the “words in the charts” do not always represent the explicit documentation needed to accurately code the record. To further complicate the problem, the rules and guidelines of coding may not always make sense in clinical medicine resulting in physician’s needing addition knowledge on how to translate their clinical thoughts and actions into explicit documentation that can be represented in appropriate codes. Peak Health Solutions, Inc.’s Physician Education services provide the knowledge needed by physicians to improve documentation resulting in more accurate coding, minimizing regulatory risk and improving our clients’ fiscal health.
