Pre-identified DRGs

FairCode Associates has a database of more than 250,000 physician-reviewed charts. We know which DRGs are historically miscoded, and the financial impact this has on a typical hospital. We are able to focus our reviews on those cases that are most prone to erroneous coding, whether from physician documentation issues, or coder oversight. This maximizes the value of the audit time, sparing the client unnecessary expense.

FairCode reports both under-coded and over-coded cases, assuring our clients a balanced look at their coding performance and documentation needs. This reduces the risk of federal, state and commercial payor penalties for incorrect up-coding, and enhances revenue from identification of under-coded cases.
