Hi all,
I have a question regarding coding corrections. I work for a hospital where I auditi/correct the professional claims. The hospital is telling me if a related invoice is paid and the coding is incorrect, we don't need to correct the claim. We only need to correct the "unpaid" claims that are part of our work inventory. To me, as a coder the appropriate correction would be to correct all claims related to the claim in our inventory so the entire hospital stay is coded/billed correctly. I don't feel comfortable only fixing the denied claim and not the entire stay which is coded incorrectly. Thoughts? Am I thinking about this too much? Any advise will be appreciated. Thank you!
