Accurate chart documentation that aligns with CMS requirements for billing & coding
Are you billing accurately for the services you are providing? We will review a sample of your chart documentation and provide feedback on elements that can be improved, in an effort to meet the criteria for appropriately coding services that were rendered. This often leads to an increase in reimbursement due to being unaware of codes that exist for services you are already providing and may not be accurately documenting.
Common examples we see include the Annual Wellness visit and Chronic Care Management Services to name a few

Education
Current offerings include
Certified Professional Coder (CPC)
We offer classes for large groups (20 person minimum) that cover the following subjects in detail: ICD-10-CM professional, CPT professional and HCPCS. This course will also help to prepare for national certification in professional medical coding for those interesting in becoming certified. Sitting for the national exam is not a requirement but is an option. This course can be taught self-paced with online access or can be conducted in person. Both options have access to a dedicated certified instructor for questions. After completing the course, you can choose to take the national exam that will certify your staff as a CPC through the national accrediting organization, AAPC.
FAQs
Why take this class through The Danklefsen Group vs. the national certifying body?
The Danklefsen Group will have access to the same materials that you would have if you were to go through AAPC. Your instructor will be licensed to allow full access to course materials as well as exclusive discounts to the books and other items you would find on the AAPC website.
You will get access to the same instructor via email/text/phone whenever a question comes up as you are working the course. There will be no waiting on hold with a customer service representative. If you sign up for this package, your calls/texts/emails will be responded to same day, 7 days a week. Should you choose an in-person package, the instructor will still be available outside of class for questions as well as customize a hands-on experience using documentation and claims examples relevant to your organization. In-person classes are subject to travel expenses covered by the client.
How does this course benefit your organization?
Medical coding isn’t traditionally taught in medical schools. Helping to bridge the gap between documentation and correct coding is paramount to not only the claims & reimbursement process, it is also an integral part of accurately reporting the patient’s health status to the insurance companies so they can continue to offer benefits to their members and pay out claims for anticipated care they need.
