Over the past decade, appropriate reimbursement has become increasingly dependent on accurate coding and correct DRG assignment. In this article, a study outlining the cost of inaccurate coding is presented, and a program for prebilling coder training is described. The authors show that a well-designed prebilling coding program can improve the accuracy of DRG assignment and thereby increase reimbursement by 10 percent or more.
在过去十年中，合理的报销越来越依赖于准确的编码和正确的诊断相关分组（DRG）分配。本文介绍了一项概述编码不准确成本的研究，并描述了一个计费前编码员培训项目。作者表明，精心设计的计费前编码项目可以提高DRG分配的准确性，从而使报销增加10%或更多。
