Many medical coding solutions and claim scrubbers promise a way to recover the savings from automating the charge entry process when using an EMR template. When looking for a solution, realize the ideal solution should not be an afterthought or one feature on a list of a hundred features. A coding solution should be carefully examined to determine:

• What types of rules does it include
• When are these rules applied
• Who reviews these errors and makes the corrections
• How are the errors presented and corrections made

Medical coding is extremely complicated and is critical to the revenue of the practice. Make sure that you select a medical coding and claim scrubbing solution that is up to the task.
