The Coding Network also has our own comprehensive compliance program.  Each quarter:

• Every coder has a random sample of charts reviewed by an auditor in their specialty
• Each coder must demonstrate a 90% accuracy rate

All results of our chart review are recorded for compliance purposes.  Additionally, TCN’s network of coders is often reviewed by the Compliance Offices of many of our clients as part of their own compliance review programs.

(For multiple specialty clients, where different single-specialty coders will be utilized, The Coding Network will assign a manager to the account. Team leaders become the operational liaisons that coordinate with the client to facilitate easy and effective communication with the coding/auditing team supporting that client.)
