Coding is an essential piece of the billing process. Coding professionals must understand, in great detail, complex regulatory requirements and the clinical work performed by providers. AdvantEdge hires and trains highly experienced and certified coders with the skills to perform this task at a superior level of proficiency every day. Our “standards of ethical coding” highlight the “decision-making” dimensions of coding and outline the company’s expectations for making ethical decisions. Quality assurance experts audit all coding work to ensure the highest accuracy.
