The Allcroft Group's Clinical Physicians are available to educate Staff Physicians to improve documentation, thereby increasing reimbursement and case mix index.

Our physicians recognize that thorough documentation provided by the physician is the basis for a strong and timely revenue cycle.  Our physicians will train your staff physicians, linking improved documentation to improved reimbursement.

Documentation Audit

The Allcroft Group offers the services of a Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) Team.  The team will present the audit process and purpose to your staff physicians.  The presentation will consist of initial and ongoing physician education, coding staff education and an understanding of the coding process as it affects accounts receivable and consequently, patient service.  The end result of the education process is improved teamwork between your medical staff and coders, case management and patient financial services, resulting in maximum reimbursement and sustained improvement of the CMI for your facility.

Allcroft Group clients enjoy the following benefits:

• Improved documentation
• More accurate DRG assignment
• Decreased potential for documentation and/or coding "red flags"
• Enhanced revenue
• Decreased days in A/R - Improved documentation reduces the need for "clarification" by coding staff
• Improvement in team focus on issues affecting the reimbursement
• Enhanced patient satisfaction
