ICD-9-CM Coding

The International Classification of Diseases, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) is used to assign different codes to corresponding medical conditions and treatments to patient data for the purposes of insurance claim submission. Using the data provided from codes, insurance providers are able to understand and assess what would otherwise be narrative descriptions of diseases, injuries or procedures performed on a patient, determining whether to approve or reject insurance claims.

Infinit-O understands the importance of coding the diagnoses accurately and therefore we strive to assist you by:

• Carefully reviewing the patient information, doctors' notes and assessments to determine the most appropriate diagnosis codes.
• Always including a fourth or fifth digit to more accurately describe the patients' conditions.
• Capturing all appropriate ICD-9-CM codes.
• Ensuring that all claims are submitted in a timely manner

Diagnoses support the reason for the patients' visits as well as the complexity of the procedures and services provided. By properly coding this information, healthcare practitioners and organizations as well as insurance companies are able to clearly define a patient's condition, ultimately assisting them in their task of helping improve the patient's quality of life.

With Infinit-O's medical coding services, physicians and healthcare providers can be secure in knowing that each and every patient record is assessed thoroughly to ensure accurate and timely coding of the information.
