Educational Programs
LexiCode provides education programs for coders, physician office staff, and others involved in the coding process. Each program is customized to your needs. Programs are available for the beginner, intermediate, or advanced coder and can cover ICD-9-CM, CPT/HCPCS, APR-DRGs, DRGs, APCs, Physician based coding (Evaluation and Management), and other agendas.

Concurrent Review & Feedback has been one of our most successful coding education programs to provide baseline feedback and education in a cost effective manner. This approach involves assigning an onsite manager for a specified time period to provide one-on-one review and feedback, group educational sessions and mutually agreed upon reporting to management. Upon achievement of the initial objectives, periodic follow-up visits occur to measure success and provide further updates.

Physician Documentation Education
Involve providers through identification of documentation opportunities and educational presentations. Thorough and clear documentation is a critical component of appropriate code assignment. It affects coding quality and accuracy as well as appropriate reimbursement for the institution and the individual physicians. Our education program components can be implemented together as a complete program, or as individual initiatives that address specifically identified objectives.

Types of Education Programs Available:

•  MS-DRG/APR-DRG
•  Evaluation & Management
•  Outpatient
•  Documentation Tools
•  Auditing and Monitoring
