You will ensure the accuracy and integrity of the codes that are used. Additionally, you will review each medical record for compliance purposes and report issues that may be apparent. When there is a question, you will ask or query your provider to confirm that the medical record supports the code selection. It really begins with the medical coder as they are the gatekeepers of coding accuracy and compliance.
