Home Health Coding

3Gen Consulting equips home health solution providers with the customized home health care coding solutions and expertise required to tackle all their challenges. We are at the forefront of the industry providing a comprehensive range of home health coding services, including the Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) review, clinical documentation, OASIS coding recommendations, and coding audits, to help organizations maximize reimbursements.

Clinical Documentation

Our team consists of professional and experienced home health RN coding specialists as well as certified coders. Our specialized team thoroughly reviews clinical documents to ensure high accuracy and consistency. As one of the leading home health coding companies, we assure our clients that their confidential documents remain safe with us and satisfy the respective requirements for homebound status, medical necessity, or terminal illness. This is achieved before any records are coded for the purpose of payment.

If the clinical documentation is not able to clearly and accurately convey a patient’s specific care plan, it can lead to a wide range of potential issues for any home health solutions provider. Some common issues due to incorrect clinical documentation include increased risk of audits, reduced reimbursement, increased takebacks, issues with patient safety, improper care coordination, and poor quality of referral sources.

OASIS Review & Recommendation

Our services include coding suggestions along with an in-depth review of OASIS. Our team is able to review your organization’s documents and provide relevant suggestions for effective ICD coding. As one of the leading home health coding companies, we also review OASIS M-items to ensure they accurately reflect patients’ conditions and support the available codes at the time. 

Home Health Coding Levels

We code at multiple levels for Start of Care (SOC), Resumption of Care (ROC), REC (Re-Certification) and SCIC (Significant Change in Condition). Our team also provides relevant ICD coding suggestions for all types of complicated illnesses. Along with the comprehensive review of OASIS and Plan of Care (POC), we make accurate modifications and recommendations in compliance with CMS guidelines and the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) rules, which help home health agencies improve their Star ratings.
