At Kelly, Sloan, and Associates, we take pride in helping doctors earn the money they well deserve.  Because KSA is owned and operated by a doctor our focus is on you and developing your practice -- not the dollar amount, and what it could earn us. 

In todays market, where reimbursement rates are decreasing at a steady rate, doctors must find ways to ensure the fiscal health of their practice.  Reimbursements are directly tied to the level and diagnosis coded on the patient's medical record.  This in turn is related to the documentation noted in the patient's chart by the treating physician.  Any breakdown, or laxity, in any of these areas can lead to a decrease in reimbursement. 

Many doctors feel that although they have documented a patient's chart to the highest level, they should still undercode the chart to avoid possible overbilling and federal audits.  Thereby leaving money on the table.  Conversely, others feel comfortable with coding to the highest level while failing to document to that level.  Thus increasing their risk of an audit that may have negative consequences.  Both of these scenarios are detrimental to your practice.
