Coder on Call
MaternOhio’s coding department offers coding support to your
existing billing staff and physicians by e-mail. Certified coders
will answer your day-to-day coding questions via the website. A
monthly subscription of $200 purchases 20 coding inquires. Our objective
is to provide clear, useful, and practical techniques for OB-GYN
specific CPT and ICD-9 coding advice.
Coding of Professional Services
Certified professional coders will code your medical services using
the most current and accurate CPT & ICD-9 codes, modifiers and
CCI edits in order for you to receive the maximum reimbursement
to which you are legally entitled.
Send us your difficult office or surgical cases to code. For medical
record or operative note review the charge would be $25.00 per surgery
case.
Consulting Hourly Services: Rate depends on project
Fee schedule/ Charge Master Analysis: If you are not reviewing
your fee schedule annually, your practice may be losing money. We
can help busy OB-GYN coding professionals and practices achieve
optimum ethical reimbursement.
Coding Audits: Coding and Auditing staff are credentialed,
qualified consultants who bring passion and professionalism to their
jobs. We can assist with physician compliance auditing for your
practice. We can offer review of your E&M documentation in accordance
with a Certified Nurse Practitioner and Physician OB-GYN.

Coding errors cost a practice thousands of dollars per year. Coding
errors can delay physician reimbursement or even worse fall subject
to timely filing deadlines and result in loss of revenue. One OB-GYN
practice was found to have $50,000 in carrier coding guideline errors
alone. Know your insurance contract billing guidelines. MaternOhio
can assist a busy OB-GYN office in these types of insurance denials.
