Why is accurate coding so important?
Upcoding involves reporting a higher-level service or procedure or a more complex diagnosis, than is supported by medical necessity, medical facts, or the provider’s documentation.
Downcoding occurs because the provider fails to provide relevant documentation details to assign a service, procedure, or diagnosis to the optimal level of specificity.
Some providers downcode as a defensive strategy to avoid denial of claims or audits even though higher codes are justified based on the documentation that is provided. Downcoding can lead to charges of Medicare noncompliance. Downcoding will leave a significant amount of money on the table. For example, data shows that in 2008 medical practices lost up to $236 million because of downcoding.
Studies have found that approximately one third of medical visits were downcoded according to written documentation and approximately half downcoded based on documentation of medical decision making.
