I'm the creator and host on my Paint The Medical Picture Podcast series. I wanted to develop rich content for this new series focused on providing listeners with the latest healthcare industry news in medical coding, medical billing, auditing, compliance, and reimbursement. It dives into best practice tips to improve clinical documentation and coding accuracy to garner correct reimbursement levels the first time around. The series will also include updates on cases of fraud, waste, and abuse to help professionals avoid payor scrutiny, and so much more on episodes dropping each Wednesday.
