Undercoding Is Real—And It’s Costing You
Manage episode 503967367 series 2490675
In this episode of CodeCast, Terry takes a closer look at the growing issue of undercoding in healthcare. Often misunderstood or overlooked, undercoding involves reporting fewer services than were actually provided, assigning a lower-level code than warranted, or inaccurately documenting patient encounters.
While some may view it as a conservative approach to avoid audits or reduce patient costs, under-coding can lead to serious consequences—including reduced reimbursement, skewed provider data, and potential compliance violations.
Terry breaks down how this practice is being viewed in today’s regulatory landscape and what it means for coders, providers, and healthcare organizations.
