ProMed: Outsourced Coding
 
Outsourced Coding
space
How many medical records departments use outsourced coders to one degree or another? With today’s tight supply of qualified coders, many departments use third party coders on a regular basis. If your coders are using ProMed for Coding do they really need to be sitting at a desk across from you in order to do their job? More importantly do they have to be your employees at all?

We recognize coding supply and demand are quite dynamic, and departmental needs vary greatly. Our commitment to supporting our clients includes the ability to outsource some or all of your coding workload. Management and administration of the coders is handled by BizTech Healthcare Solutions, Inc. Management and administration of the coding process is still under your control, thanks to the administration capability built into ProMed for Coding. You control the queue distribution and reassignment of records, all the while having detailed coder performance information at your fingertips.
 
Overflow feature
ProMed for Coding’s Overflow feature is essentially an outsourcing option for the In-House and Hosted models. By utilizing ProMed’s Overflow feature, our clients can set a work queue threshold. If the amount of records in the work queue exceeds the designated threshold, records are automatically redirected to a predetermined 3rd party coding service. Your overflow can be sent to an outsource coding company of your choice or our own outsource coders.
Authentication Required
Every coder that accesses a record through ProMed must be an authorized ProMed user with valid login. User activity is tracked, so that a detailed audit trail is available. The same feature-rich ProMed management, administration, and reporting functionality are applied to all overflow records.
