We have eight (8) coders presently, excluding myself. In addition, we have approval to recruit an Analyst to assist with various audits. Audits/monitors are performed monthly and across several areas (lines of business, setting, etc). Although they occur regularly, the contents of the monitor may change as targets arise and are remediated.
We are about a 120-bed facility and provide a wide range of services. The provider count varies because we are a teaching facility. We presently have two (2) coders not credentialed, although both have been within the organization a very long time and are retiring soon (they're so lucky!). Currently I and one (1) coder participate actively in denial management. Other than that, it is considered a billing or UR function.
I hope this helps you. I'd be free to discuss through private message, if you'd prefer.
