Visit coding
In developmentCodeIQ Visit is in development. It reviews the signed clinic note and proposes the E/M level and diagnosis codes the documentation supports, for the physician to confirm.
The problem
In a retrospective review, many level-3 visits had documentation that supported a higher level. That shows where coding review could help. It does not mean those visits should have been billed differently.
How it works
A proposed E/M level and diagnosis codes, each linked to the supporting text in the signed note.
The physician confirms or changes the codes. CodeIQ Visit does not submit claims.
Confirmed codes would be saved to the encounter in athenaOne. This workflow is not offered to practices yet.
Availability
In developmentBeing built or evaluated. Not offered to practices yet.
Evidence
Measured
Level-3 established visits whose signed note supported level 4
Limitation: Shows where to audit, not that every visit should have been billed higher. No encounter was re-billed.
