The Assumption Pitfall: When Coders Read Between the Lines

In this episode, we shine a light on one of the most common—and costly—mistakes in medical coding: making assumptions. Whether it’s inferring a diagnosis, assuming laterality, or “filling in the blanks” when documentation is unclear, assumption-based coding opens the door to compliance risks, denials, and even audit findings.#MedicalCoding #RevenueCycle #Compliance #MedicalBilling #HealthcareCompliance #CodingEducation #AuditReady #DocumentationMatters #RevenueIntegrity #HealthcareFinance #CoderLife #DenialManagement #HealthLaw #CodingTips #ICD10 #CPTCoding #StephanieAllardConsulting #AuditingAnticsPodcastReach Out For Compliance Help Now!https://www.stephanieallardconsulting.com/contactSign up for our updates and the latest compliance news here! https://www.stephanieallardconsulting.com/Find our AUDITING ANTICS PODCAST for regular updates and discussions related to compliance in the medical coding and billing industry!https://www.stephanieallardconsulting.com/auditing-antics-podcastView our compliance consulting, auditing, and education services here! https://www.stephanieallardconsulting.com/servicesView our Coding Compliance Connection membership here! https://www.stephanieallardconsulting.com/membership View our online shop here! https://www.stephanieallardconsulting.com/online-shop

What’s Hiding in Your HCCs? Why RADV Audits Matter More Than You Think

I’m excited to have Dr. Khush Singh join me in the studio for an important and timely discussion related to value-based care and the growing pressure around accurate coding and documentation especially when it comes to HCCs. In this episode, Dr. Singh and I will unpack what RADV audits really focus on, why precise HCC documentation is more important than ever, and how even small gaps can lead to major issues. Not only can these audits lead to hefty repayments, but they can also uncover patterns that trigger deeper investigations under the False Claims Act (FCA).

Reimbursing Intelligence: Navigating Coding Compliance for Healthcare Tech

During this episode Sean Weiss "The Compliance Guy" and I will discuss how AI tools are at times considered organizational resources rather than reimbursable services. That means hospitals and practices often absorb the costs without direct payment from payers, as most AI-assisted functions don't fall into existing CPT or HCPCS code categories. We will address what this means for health systems investing in AI and how to evaluate ROI beyond reimbursement.
