Medical Coding Services

Thuriam is a leading medical coding consulting firm. Our Medical Coding service enables individuals and Hospitals to file a claim with the patient's health insurance provider, managed care organization, or government entities.

Our coding consists of combination of numbers and alphabets adhering to different coding standards. These codes help medical insurance and others to understand what was wrong with the patient, whether treatment was necessary and what services were administered.

All these coding helps the non-medical staff at the insurance and other health service providers to handle the claims and make payments on predetermined basis. Our specialty is ICD-9, CPT, HCPCS outpatient (physician) coding for the CMS-1500 form.

Our Medical Coders

AT Thuriam we convert notes written by physicians and other health care personnel that describe what type of treatment individual patients received into codes that insurance companies use to reimburse the health care provider.

Our Coders look at the medical record and determine the correct ICD-9-CM, CPT and HCPCS codes. Further medical coder's work consists of submitting proper documentation to a number of insurance companies and federal agencies for reimbursement.

Our team consists of experienced coders and senior technicians with several years of clinical experience in a vast array of medical specialties, and have their CCS-P and/or CCS credentials.
