Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) Coding Audits
With both accurate and inaccurate coding practices having a direct impact on revenue, it is essential to establish a coding audit program.

Newsletter
CCM publishes a monthly newsletter, The ASC Advantage, which specifically targets ambulatory surgery centers. Articles include upcoming coding and billing guidelines and revisions as well as coding tips and instructions.

Proficiency or Pre-Employment Testing (ASC )
CCM can prepare and provide a coding exam specific to ambulatory surgery centers. The exam will test the proficiency of the coders and provide management with feedback regarding strengths and areas requiring improvement as well as offer educational solutions.

This feedback allows supervisors to make employment placement decisions based on current facility case mix and the coder's strengths and specific skills. Summaries also highlight areas in which there is an opportunity to excel. If you have a specific coding concern, the CCM staff can tailor a test to meet your coding needs.
