Coding Validation

Get a last line of defense against coding errors with Cotiviti's Coding Validation solution.

Even after primary and secondary claim editing, our Coding Validation solution creates savings of an additional 0.50% or more of medical costs due to identifying complex coding errors. We apply advanced clinical and coding algorithms to nationally sourced edits, flagging suspect claims which are then systemically and manually reviewed with the aid of coding experts before final adjudication.

Coding Validation solution benefits and features

Take a stand against improper payments and experience other benefits, such as

• Significant incremental savings. Even after primary and secondary claim editing, save an additional 0.50% or more of medical costs by avoiding payment of inappropriate claims with complex coding errors.
• Customization to extend overpayment concepts. Cotiviti customizes to specific needs to capture inappropriate payments that other editors miss—beyond standard modifiers, evaluation and management, and cross-provider duplicates.
• More same-day, prepay review services. Our platform and processes set the foundation for adding on more prepay review domains, such as coordination of benefits.
• High provider familiarity. With over 45 clients representing providers in all 50 states and Puerto Rico currently participating, your provider networks are likely already exposed to Cotiviti's Coding Validation program.
• Low disruption in claims flow. 97–99% of claims auto-pass through CV, with only 1–3% flagged for rapid nurse review within hours.
• Low IT and administrative burden. Our managed service reduces client IT and clinical lift to maintain an editing solution, and Cotiviti’s technology integrates with multiple claims platforms.
