Backlog and On-Demand Coding Services

Remote, Outsourced Backlog and On-Demand Coding Solutions

Organizations that rely on internal coding staff occasionally incur backlogs for a number of reasons. Once coding falls behind it becomes increasingly difficult and often impossible to catch up. All too often a set of records is set aside, left uncoded and unbilled for long periods of time. This results in a delay or loss of revenue for the organization and/or the physician. Appropriate reimbursement for hospital services demands that all records are coded and billed in a timely manner.

LYNX Backlog and On-Demand Coding Services can help organizations immediately stabilize their Health Information Management (HIM) operations during volume spikes, coder absences and/or new coder ramp-up periods. By enlisting LYNX to code emergency department encounters during challenging times, the remaining hospital staff can focus on current inpatient and outpatient encounters.

Many LYNX Backlog and On-Demand Coding Services clients retain LYNX to provide assistance during coding emergencies and to clear significant coding backlogs. LYNX coders work remotely using LYNX E/Code coding management software.
