Travel Medical Coders
Insuring Health Insurance Management

Cost containment mandates for hospitals makes coding of insurance claims a critical administrative function. Cash flow crunches can adversely affect standards of patient care which is unacceptable to institutions and patients alike. COMFORCE Coding Division is a preferred source for credentialed coders who travel to hospitals across the United States.

COMFORCE coders check the accuracy of insurance claim coding so that insurance reimbursements are accurate, fast and fair. Since the only valid training for credentialed medical coders is a multi-year, on-the-job process, the shortage is among the highest of medical support skills. Because of the shortage of local, experienced, and credentialed HIM coders, hospitals accept the fact that they must bear the burden of travel and housing costs for these valuable employees.

Advances in technology have enabled COMFORCE to provide an opportunity for coders who are unable to travel, to work remotely from their homes. With strict quality control procedures built into the process this remote option is another viable source of coding relief for hospitals.

Whether traveling to the client’s site or telecommuting, COMFORCE coders perform medical records coding and abstracting for inpatient, ambulatory surgery, emergency room, evaluation and management and ancillary services with speed and accuracy. National electronic medical records systems have further elevated the demand for COMFORCE coders.
