Our Medical Coding Process
At SunTec India, every step in the process of medical coding is accomplished with perfection to ensure that an accurate and error-free claim is submitted to the insurance carriers. Our medical coders can accurately exert medical codes through the following process:
Retrieving Patient Information
Our clients send us the scanned medical procedure documents by uploading them to a secure FTP location or by any other secure connection to let our coders access the documents.
Pre-Coding
Ater getting all the patient information, our medical coders translate those into the proper codes as per the diagnosis and procedures performed by your healthcare professionals.
Assigning Codes
At this stage, our medical coders turn the procedure reports into correct medical codes and enter them into the system for claim processing.
Quality Audit
Our medical coders follow strict quality measures to eliminate any discrepancies by auditing each file for accuracy of the assigned codes while also verifying the patient charts for up-coding or down-coding.
Submission of Coded Charts
As a next step, our medical coders submit these coded charts either by uploading them onto a secure FTP location, email, or PMS. Thereby, the medical biller creates an insurance claim and sends it to an insurance company. Lastly, we will share the medical billing report with the client.
