ACCURATE ICD 10 CODING DIRECTLY IMPACTS HOME HEALTH AGENCY SUCCESS

With a team of over 600 + certified and experienced coders, our focus always remains on Precision and Exceptional coding quality that you can rely on.

BOOST YOUR AGENCY’S CLINICAL COMPLIANCE 

The OUTCOME AND ASSESSMENT INFORMATION SET (OASIS) collects information about home care patients’ health and functional status. It is further used to inform Medicare about the appropriate care needed and provided. Since incorrect OASIS scores can negatively affect compliance and reimbursement, our team of experts evaluates your current methodology and documentation to make recommendations and identify gaps to educate your clinicians to improve the quality of clinical documentation. 

Our Home Health DIAGNOSIS coding & OASIS Review service optimizes the accuracy of diagnosis codes and OASIS answers which translates into greater revenue and minimizes the denied claims percentage of your home health agency.

Home Health Agencies across the country are outsourcing many of their back-office functions to Astron EHS for coding, OASIS review, complete Plan of Care review, and billing.
