What We Do

The motto sounds simple enough… but in the context of medical records coding, it’s the very bottom line. The truth is always right.

The goal of FairCode Associates is to improve coding documentation and compliance for client hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers. In order to do this, FairCode deploys a team of specially-trained doctors and coders who work as consultants with the client coders.

FairCode audits improve the accuracy of the coding, which benefits the hospital or ASC client and guides physicians toward more accurate documentation. In hospitals, expected mortality rates and lengths of stay come into alignment with the actual rates and quality reports reflect the change. In ASCs, the number of procedures per case improves.

The diagnosis and procedure codes dictate how the hospital or surgery center is reimbursed and with more accurate coding, the client rests assured that the most appropriate payment is received for the patient care they provided. FairCode technology and human resources often layer on to the current initiatives that clients have implemented to yield substantial improvements in quality and financial metrics.
