Coding and Billing
AMA Claims Workflow AssistantThis free online tool from the AMA helps your practice secure accurate payment from health insurers for inappropriately denied claims, including those for workers’ compensation. Your practice can look up the reasons health insurers reported for denying claims on the electronic remittance advices (ERAs) your practice receives. After look-up, you can determine the best steps for your practice to address claim denials or non-payments. The tool also provides template appeal letters that AMA members can modify to use in their practices.
Colorado ICD-10 Training Coalition webpage
This site was created to help physicians navigate requirements of the ICD-10 code sets. ICD-10 includes nearly 55,000 more codes than the previous version, which will require changes to how health care information is collected, documented and used, both internal to your practice and external. We recognize that each physician’s office is different and will need a tailored plan for your needs. Use the navigation boxes to go step-by-step through the process and forge your pathway through the ICD-10 maze.
