• Monitoring updates on family practice coding
  Keeping abreast with the coding updates by
  maintaining ICD 10 CM, PCS, HCPCS, CPT code books
  is imperative. CMS website publishes frequent
  updates to the coding rules and guidelines. The
  AAFP (American Academy of Family Physicians)
  publishes frequent newsletters. Frequent
  reference to CMS websites and subscriptions to
  articles will keep the providers updated on
  family practice coding.

  documentation delays the reimbursement cycle of
  claims. Documentation gaps in preventive
  procedures may lead to revenue losses for
  healthcare providers.

  and frequent audits of coding is a must to avoid
  repetition of errors. There needs to be open
  communication between physicians, coders,
  billers. General practitioners need to be
