A recent nationwide ICD-10 coding accuracy and productivity contest by Central Learning demonstrates the fact that the medical coding industry still needs to greatly improve in order to achieve a respectable and acceptable ICD-10 and CPT coding accuracy level. Although there was a slight improvement in inpatient and emergency department accuracy, the ambulatory surgery accuracy score decreased. The average inpatient coder accuracy was 61 percent and the average outpatient coder accuracy was 41 percent.

If your department is struggling with its coding accuracy levels, there is a way to improve your accuracy immediately by taking advantage of advanced medical coding solutions that guarantee accuracy and turnaround, and are less costly and less hassle for practice managers, physicians, hospitals, and providers.
