Rural hospitals have been failing over the last two decades, and one of the biggest reasons has been lack of attention paid to detail and accuracy in the coding and pricing of services rendered. Most research that has explored the problems of coding accuracy and its impact on reimbursement has focused on coding by medical record professionals, but many coding procedures are performed by "front line" lower-level employees working in a hospital's laboratory, radiology department, pharmacy, or other ancillary service departments. This article explains how rural hospitals can optimize their reimbursement and adhere to Medicare/Medicaid and other third-party payer regulations by training coders properly and by reviewing their pricing policies to make sure that prices charged accurately reflect the true cost of services.
