HEDIS Coding Services: Accurate and Reliable Documentation for Quality Reporting
The Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) is a standardized set of performance measures to assess the quality of care and service provided by health plans and healthcare organizations. Accurate HEDIS coding is crucial for health plans and healthcare organizations as it directly impacts their performance ratings and reimbursement. Outsource Strategies International (OSI) has the experience necessary to ensure proper coding to capture the quality and effectiveness of the healthcare services provided. Our U.S. based medical billing and coding company has certified coders who have a thorough understanding of the HEDIS measures and coding guidelines.
Developed and maintained by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), HEDIS measures cover various aspects of healthcare, including preventive care, chronic disease management, and behavioral health. NCQA uses HEDIS data to improve HEDIS measures and the healthcare system.
OSI’s HEDIS support covers medical record review, extraction of relevant data points, assigning appropriate codes for accurate and consistent reporting, and compliance audits.
