Coding and Compliance Services



How much money is slipping away from your practice because of incorrect coding and documentation? More than you’d believe. Worse yet, what is your risk of non-compliance? If you were audited today, how would your practice fare? Poor coding can result in huge losses of revenue and potential fines for compliance violations.

Certified Coding Analysis

We work with cardiologists nationwide – in the office and on-site during hospital rounds – to identify techniques for improving accurate documentation. Coding and billing requirements are complex, and policies and regulations can vary by region, carrier, and specialty. Engaging Paragon for your certified audit and subsequent education will enhance compliance, improve coding accuracy, and increase practice revenue. You can sleep well knowing your practice is protected.

Document Enhancement

Remedying coding compliance is a necessary start. In addition, Paragon helps you identify the root issues of poorly designed tools or forms that can easily push you out of compliance. We will help you create or improve your existing forms for office and/or hospital services. We will assist with the implementation of EMR templates and streamline charge capture process. The result is increased productivity and dramatic cost savings.

Coding Education and Training

Paragon offers ongoing monitoring and education so physicians can improve their ability to accurately code and document Evaluation & Management services. We train physicians as well as billing staff in proper coding and documentation of procedures. As a Paragon client, your staff will have on-site access and/or telephone access to our coding and reimbursement experts. Click here to read some of our recent articles on coding and compliance.
