Does MSN provide physician coding support?
Yes. MSN is extremely proactive in auditing physician coding. MSN Senior Managers have been instrumental in founding the Radiology Coding Certification Board (RCCB) and currently serve this organization on its Board of Directors. MSN educates its physicians regularly about coding issues and changes in rules and regulations. MSN has written a Correct Coding Initiative (CCI) edit program that rejects incorrectly coded claims, prior to submission. Incorrectly coded claims are rejected and manually corrected by certified coders, thus avoiding costly denial processes. Recognized industry consultants are retained to conduct annual client audits. MSN has trained, experienced coders who support MSN’s “satellite” offices. In addition, on-site employees who are responsible for coding receive substantial training and benefit from ongoing audits, both from within the organization and from external auditors. MSN personnel attend coding seminars regularly to keep abreast of the latest changes and up
