ABSTRACT
Accurate coding of diagnoses and procedures is the key to managing your reimbursement, limiting your write-offs, and avoiding fraudulent activity that could bring havoc to your practice. Proper ICD-9-CM coding (International Classifications of Disease, Clinical Modifications) and CPT coding (Current Procedural Terminology) should be documented for each patient encounter. This article provides basic information to aid physicians in expanding their knowledge of this critical component of a successful practice.
