| Analysis
The
first step in evaluating new medical technology is to determine
whether it fits within the existing coding and reimbursement structure.
Can the current ICD-9 and CPT codes track it adequately? Do the
current reimbursement arrangements make sense? Or is the new technology
so unique as to require new codes to measure it separately?
We help medical device manufacturers answer these critical questions
from a coding and reimbursement perspective built on years of experience.
Coding
If
the Analysis Step determines that the existing coding and reimbursement
structure is not adequate, we help our clients develop winning proposals,
whether it’s for a new or revised
ICD-9-CM code needed from CMS or a new or revised CPT code needed
from the AMA. Our record of success in this area is
unsurpassed.
Reimbursement
Once
a new code is established and enough coding data has been collected
over time, a case can be made to establish a realistic reimbursement
structure. We help our clients advocate for improved reimbursements
from payors, including Medicare and third-party payors.
Let Clarity Coding's experience make the difference.
Education
Successes
in coding and reimbursement advances have little effect if our clients'
customers, the healthcare providers, aren’t properly trained
to take advantage of them. We consider hospital and physician education
needs throughout the entire process, then deliver the training they'll
need. Let Clarity Coding's leading edge professionals
train your coders.
