Undercoding Isn’t an Audit-avoidance Strategy

It’s a compliance risk, and it deprives your physicians of proper payment.

• Undercoding leaves money on the table, driving down provider reimbursement: 

• Undercoding increases the number of improperly paid claims:

• Undercoding impacts patients negatively, and skews the data that Medicare and other payers use to calculate payments, going forward:

• Failing to report services performed at the encounter; and

• Under-reporting the level of service provided.
