ARE YOU CONFIDENT THAT...

1. Your clinical providers document 100% of what they do (E/M, procedures, services, etc.)?
2. You capture 100% of what you do with the proper CPT, HCPCS-II, and ICD-10-CM codes?
3. You are maximizing revenue to all payers (Medicare, Medicaid, and 3rd party) and can support everything you are paid for with proper and complete documentation?

BECOME CERTIFIED AS A RURAL OR COMMUNITY HEALTH CODING & BILLING SPECIALIST (RH-CBS OR CH-CBS) OR A  CRITICAL ACCESS OR SMALL RURAL HOSPITAL CODING & BILLING SPECIALIST (CAH-CBS OR SRH-CBS)

Demand for qualified medical coders and billers has never been higher—and it’s rising.  Rural Health Clinics (RHC), Community Health Centers (also known as Federally Qualified Health Centers or FQHCs) and Critical Access Hospitals (CAH) have distinctly different rules related to professional coding and medical billing.  Billing Medicare, and some Medicaid plans as encounter-based per diem payments, are drastically different than billing fee-for-service to traditional insurance plans.

Other coding certifications do not have any billing questions in their training content to help you grow revenue – let alone dealing with your unique cost reporting needs.  Certifications from other organizations require you to learn about major surgeries and services that simply are not ever performed in rural and community medical facilities.  ArchProCoding has developed the nation’s only certification that not only has coding and billing information – but has training content that eliminates you learning about medical services that are never performed.

To be financially viable and continue to grow your ability to treat patients in rural and urban health professional shortage areas, ArchProCoding feels that clinics, hospital networks, group practices, and facility leadership need to:

1. Educate your clinical providers (MD, DO, PA, NP, CP, etc.) on the federal/state billing rules related to RHCs, FQHCs, and CAHS on the limitations of IT/EHR to capture their valuable services in medical records.
2. Hire and re-train trained professional coders to extract the proper CPT, HCPCS-II, and ICD-10-CM/PCS codes from completed and compliant medical records documentation in order to fully capture all services that were provided and why they were provided so we can analyze quality measurement, billing, and regulatory reporting needs.
3. Ensure that you maximize allowable reimbursement via compliant billing that minimizes risk from audits while balancing the significant differences between state/federal/commercial insurance payer rules and  billing regulations.

CLINICAL PROVIDER TRAINING: EHRS DO NOT DOCUMENT AND CODE FOR PROVIDERS -- TRAINED PEOPLE DO!

Technology is redefining the health field.  Workflows are changing the way we are accustomed to doing business, sometimes with little or no planning - or often due to unexpected consequences of balancing numerous new IT and software implementations. Today’s clinical providers, professional coders, and medical billers must adapt to those changes.

We strongly encourage Team-based Training where we all learn shoulder-to-shoulder together instead of being trained separately and maybe believing different things from different sources.  Come learn together!

Because many rural and community health centers are far away from major cities, they don't get the same access education and training opportunities as those living in larger cities.  To support our members’ long-term success, we have built a learning platform that will grow and adapt to your coding education needs online 24/7/365 or even through in-person training that comes to where you live.
