An Overview Of PRC’s

Physician Based Coding, Compliance, & Documentation Reviews

In addition to validating code assignments, PRC will identify services that were not coded/billed, and make recommendations on Clinical Documentation opportunities. We provide our recommendations in a comprehensive report with each case re-abstracted with suggested code assignments, supporting references, and potential financial impacts. Our comprehensive final reports also provide useful statistics such as accuracy rates, which can be customized to be Physician specific, Coder specific, and/or as a group, to best fit the needs and objectives of our Client.
