Common pitfalls
Where internal medicine claims go wrong
These are the errors we look for first when reviewing a practice in this specialty. If any sound familiar, a billing review will tell you what they are costing.
- Unspecified diagnosis codes used where the record supports a more specific one.
- Prolonged service time billed without the time statement payers require.
- Chronic conditions documented but never coded, so risk-adjusted payments fall short.
