FAQ
Common questions
What is clinical documentation improvement (CDI)?
CDI is the concurrent and retrospective review of medical records to ensure documentation accurately reflects the patient's severity of illness, complexity of care, and the services provided.
Are your physician queries compliant?
Yes. Our specialists issue non-leading, AHIMA/ACDIS-compliant queries that strengthen the record without steering the clinician toward a specific diagnosis.
How does CDI improve reimbursement?
By capturing accurate severity of illness and risk of mortality, CDI lifts the case mix index, improves quality scores, and reduces clinical-validation and DRG denials.
Do you offer concurrent and retrospective review?
Yes. We provide concurrent review while the patient is in-house and retrospective review, tailored to your program and specialties.
