Reimbursement Coding

Reimbursement coding represents the link between what a provider does for a patient and how that provider is reimbursed by government and private payors for services rendered.

MCRA’s team of coding, coverage, and reimbursement experts can help your company understand how the current coding systems impact your technology or procedure, what challenges providers may face, and opportunities to better define your technology or procedure in the future.
