A claim can be technically payable and still be wrong. We use CPT, ICD-10 and payer-specific guidelines simultaneously to make same day payment of claims that have survived the chart review two years from now.
Our coders hold AAPC or AHIMA credential certification and work within specific specialties, not across all of them at once.
An E&M-heavy practice gets a coder who lives in E&M guidelines daily, not one rotating between ten specialties a week.
Levels checked against the actual note Evaluation and management coding is where most under- and over-coding happens.
Every E&M level is checked for accuracy against the documentation in the chart before submission, catching mismatches before a payer or an auditor does.
Our certified and trained coders make sure to assign precise and compliant code to reduce errors and claim denials thus improving reimbursements.
End-to-end encryption is provided for protecting patient data with role-based action and audit trails on every action.
A2Z billings ensures accurate coding which means fewer reworks, faster payments and less administrative load on staff.
We align the documentation with the latest AMA E/M guidelines to prevent over and under coding. This aids in keeping your levels defensible and your reimbursement correct.
Outpatient-specific payer rules and documentation requirements are used for coding office visits, follow-ups, and same-day procedures.
E&M levels are reviewed line by line against medical decision-making and time, the two areas payers scrutinize most in an audit.
Coding handled by specialty, from cardiology to behavioral health, so guideline nuance for each field isn't lost in translation.
Codes checked against current CMS guidelines and state Medicaid rules, which shift more often than commercial payer policy.
CPT and modifier assignment for procedures, cross-checked against operative notes to confirm bundling and global period rules are followed.
Retrospective chart reviews that catch under-coding, over-coding, and documentation gaps before a payer or external auditor finds them first.
A2Z Billings was started by billers who spent years watching practices that lose revenue to preventable denials and outdated credentialing files. Since then, our coders and billing staff have managed the revenue cycle for practices across Michigan and beyond.
Claim denial rate reduced from 44.4% to 3.2%. It is achieved through usage of cleaner modifiers and E/M levelling.
The charge-to-code turnaround is minimized from 8 days to 2 days through a structured review queue that moves encounters from documentation to claim submission in less than 48 hours.
The net collections have increased by 18%. This is due to capturing legitimately billable procedures and applying accurate modifiers which results in recovering revenue previously left on the table.

"Most denials I catch aren't complicated. It's an E&M level that doesn't match the note, or a modifier used out of habit. Fixing that before submission is the whole job."

PH1 is protected with encryption everywhere it lives and everywhere it moves.
Coders are assigned by specialty and stay on the same accounts, instead of rotating through unfamiliar chart types.
Every coded chart carries a documentation trail linking the code to the note, so an audit request doesn't turn into a scramble.
Coding guidelines are regularly updated to follow latest CPT, ICD-10, CMS and payer rules.
Coders hold AAPC or AHIMA credentials, including CPC and CCS, and are assigned by specialty rather than working across all chart types.
By checking every E&M level against the medical decision-making and time documented in the note before the claim is submitted, not after a denial comes back.
