What you will demonstrate

Prepare like the role is already yours.

  • Produces documentation-supported ICD-10-CM, CPT, HCPCS, modifier, unit, and sequencing decisions with a defensible audit trail.
  • Uses source-document review, official ICD-10-CM guidelines, Alphabetic Index and Tabular List verification, CPT and HCPCS references, code-set updates, and compliant non-leading provider queries with appropriate safeguards.
  • Partners effectively with patients and responsible parties affected by accurate balances and understandable billing.
  • Balances coding accuracy, audit agreement, query quality and turnaround, documentation sufficiency, and unsupported-code prevention.
  • Guards against coding from memory, coverage, or desired reimbursement; inferring diagnoses or procedures; leading a provider query; upcoding, unbundling, unsupported risk adjustment, or modifier misuse; confusing rejection with denial or correction with appeal; missing timely filing; posting adjustments or patient responsibility incorrectly; hiding credit balances or overpayments; exposing protected health information; or optimizing speed while audit accuracy collapses.
