After surveying and polling several top national coding and consulting firms, we were able to compile what we consider to be the 15 most common coding/billing errors that plague physicians and group practices today. This list is meant to assist physicians, coders, and billers in hopes that their audits will improve, denial rates will decrease, and the exhaustive redundancy of resubmittals will subside.
