Coding Process

Iris Medical Coding Process


Data Upload
The input data in the form of patient information, clinical information and patient charts are faxed to an Iris provided toll free fax number.

Allocation
Iris receives these images and gets allocated to the precoder and coder based on client's specialty.

Pre-Coding
At this point, the pre-coders enter details such as physicians name, place of service and any price modifiers.

Coding
Coding consists of Procedural and Diagnostic Coding of the treatment into an excel sheet together with relevant patient information. Our Coders who have undergone certification training and has over 4 years of experience in coding identify and apply the right code using references such as ICD-9-CM, LMRP, CPT Assistant, HCPCS Level II. They also check the compatibility of the diagnosis with the procedure code.

Quality Assurance
Prior to preparation of super-bill, each claim is reviewed by a peer coder to ensure optimal coding for maximum revenue generation. After review, it undergoes a random check by the quality assurance team before being moved to output queue.

Superbill Preparation
The procedural and diagnostic codes and any modifier codes are placed on a patient encounter form or superbill. The patient's chart is then re-filed and the encounter form/superbill is given to a medical billing team.
