Module 05 Assignment - Coding Compliance: Analyze,
Investigate, and Take Action
In this assignment, you will take on the role of a Coding
Manager who has been summoned to the Chief Medical
Officer’s (CMO) office. The CMO has expressed a concern
about the coding for Internal Medicine (IM) physicians
because she has received some complaints. Some IM doctors
indicate that pay amongst the IM doctors is
varying a great deal, and they want to make more money, as
well.
Since physician pay is driven by Evaluation and Management
(E&M) coding assignment, the CMO wonders if the
coder is new. You explain that there are several coders in the
IM area since coders are cross trained over many
specialties for vacation coverage. You indicate that you will
track 100 accounts for each of the nine (9) IM
providers and will use the national comparative data to identify
possible coding problems.
Your analysis will require you to:
a that has been collected
coding staff and report back to the CMO
Part I – Interpret the Data
Chart 1: Here is the national comparative data for physician
E&M level assignment.
Source: Medicare Provider Utilization and Cost Physician and
Other Supplier NPI Aggregate, 2013.The detailed NPI and
HCPCS data file can also be used to
examine how patterns of service use vary across physicians and
specialties. Chart shows the distribution of routine office visits
(a.k.a., Evaluation and
Management services) for some common specialty types.
Medicare has five different HCPCS billing codes (99211-99215)
for routine office visits based on
the length of the visit ranging 5 minutes for 99211 (level 1) to
40 minutes for 99215 (level 5). As may be expected, specialties
such as Dermatology bill a
higher proportion of shorter-length office visits (e.g., level 2)
than Internal Medicine or Nurse Practitioners, whereas
specialties such as Cardiology and
Hematology/Oncology bill a higher proportion of higher-length
office visits (e.g., levels 4 and 5).

Part III – Determine if you need to make Coding Staff changes
Meet the Coders
Grace: A credentialed coder who has been coding
for 18 years and specializes in orthopedic coding.
As a result, she often gets emails from newer
coders when they are faced with a challenging
ortho account. She is happy to help, pleasant to
work with, has excellent attendance and has
above average coding accuracy.
Codes for:
– Gunderson, Talia
– Borchart, Riggins
– Raju, Patel and Shaniff
Penny: A credentialed coder who has been coding
for 4 years. She has an associates degree which
has benefited her because she is often able to
help with anatomy questions from other coders.
She is a quiet coder who struggles with
attendance and maintains average coding
accuracy.
Codes for:
– Maxwell, Chandra
- Turner, Marck, Abraham
– Wyatt, S. Khan
Hiba: A credentialed coder who joined the coding
team 5 months ago and is nearing her
probationary evaluation review. Her coding
accuracy has been very good on each of her
monthly reviews to date. She has not had any
unscheduled absences.
Codes for:
– Zhionobi
– Chobinson, Myers
- Mendez
14. After reviewing the above coding assignments and the
information in Charts 1 through 5, which coder
reflects top notch coding performance?
a. Hiba
b. Grace
c. Penny
d. Hiba, Grace and Penny
--Continued on next page--
You meet with Penny and you learn that Dr. Turner called her
two months ago and complained about his level
assignments. He invited her to lunch, and they have been
lunching each week since then. You decide to do a
documentation and coding audit on the Dr. Turner accounts
tracked above. To do so, you review the
documentation on each account and then you assign an E&M
code to each account. This allows a comparison
between your E&M coding assignments and Penny’s E&M
coding assignments. Your findings are below:

15. In reviewing the coding disparity in Penny’s coding of Dr.
Turner’s accounts, you report the following to
the CMO:
a. A coding compliance issue has been identified and will be
monitored every week until an
improvement is evidenced or another action becomes necessary.
b. Coding is accurate and compliant for all Internal Medicine
providers and thank her for the input
from the CMO.
c. There is a coding compliance issue for surgery providers and
coding assignments are going to be
changed to correct it.
d. There are no findings to report and a coding consultant will
be brought in from the outside to
investigate coding compliance.

Module 05 Assignment - Coding Compliance Analyze, Investigate.docx

  • 1. Module 05 Assignment - Coding Compliance: Analyze, Investigate, and Take Action In this assignment, you will take on the role of a Coding Manager who has been summoned to the Chief Medical Officer’s (CMO) office. The CMO has expressed a concern about the coding for Internal Medicine (IM) physicians because she has received some complaints. Some IM doctors indicate that pay amongst the IM doctors is varying a great deal, and they want to make more money, as well. Since physician pay is driven by Evaluation and Management (E&M) coding assignment, the CMO wonders if the coder is new. You explain that there are several coders in the IM area since coders are cross trained over many specialties for vacation coverage. You indicate that you will track 100 accounts for each of the nine (9) IM providers and will use the national comparative data to identify possible coding problems. Your analysis will require you to: a that has been collected coding staff and report back to the CMO Part I – Interpret the Data
  • 2. Chart 1: Here is the national comparative data for physician E&M level assignment. Source: Medicare Provider Utilization and Cost Physician and Other Supplier NPI Aggregate, 2013.The detailed NPI and HCPCS data file can also be used to examine how patterns of service use vary across physicians and specialties. Chart shows the distribution of routine office visits (a.k.a., Evaluation and Management services) for some common specialty types. Medicare has five different HCPCS billing codes (99211-99215) for routine office visits based on the length of the visit ranging 5 minutes for 99211 (level 1) to 40 minutes for 99215 (level 5). As may be expected, specialties such as Dermatology bill a higher proportion of shorter-length office visits (e.g., level 2) than Internal Medicine or Nurse Practitioners, whereas specialties such as Cardiology and Hematology/Oncology bill a higher proportion of higher-length office visits (e.g., levels 4 and 5). --Continued on next page-- 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60%

He invited her to lunch, and they have been lunching each week since then. You decide to do a documentation and coding audit on the Dr. Turner accounts tracked above. To do so, you review the documentation on each account and then you assign an E&M code to each account. This allows a comparison between your E&M coding assignments and Penny’s E&M coding assignments. Your findings are below: Chart 7 Provider Name: Turner Office Level

A coding compliance issue has been identified and will be monitored every week until an improvement is evidenced or another action becomes necessary. b. Coding is accurate and compliant for all Internal Medicine providers and thank her for the input from the CMO. c. There is a coding compliance issue for surgery providers and coding assignments are going to be changed to correct it.
