Our Compliance Officer is qualified in maintaining the most current and accurate procedures that ensure compliance to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations governing Healthcare, Coding, and Third Party Billing. OIG's Third Party Medical Billing Company Guideline requirements are strictly followed.

Staffing, Training and Education

All potential coders are required to complete a pre-hire test to determine if they have the aptitude to become a part of MedTech's highly qualified coding staff. All coding staff receive an intensive one-month training course prior to being assigned to a client.  Finally, all MedTech coders undergo monthly audits to ensure continued compliance to our coding standards.  Monthly coding meetings are held to update staff of changes in coding procedures, and provide an opportunity for questions and answers.  MedTech strictly follows AMA guidelines and uses only approved manuals such as: ICD9CM, CPT, and HCPCS manuals.

We incorporate the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) training course for coders. During this training privacy concepts are explained to help coders recognize and be aware of patient privacy issues.
