Lock in medical necessity and get the reimbursement you deserve, free of FCA concerns.

Avoid the #1 cause of claim denials-lacking medical necessity documentation. But claim denials aren't the only thing at stake. Get medical necessity wrong and it's a "knowingly false" act punishable under the FCA-with civil penalties of up to $11,000 per medical necessity error.

Stop the madness. Get reimbursed for your services the first time-and every time-with TCI's Coding for Medical Necessity.

Hone your coding prowess with myriad examples, tools, Q&A, and expert guidance across specialties to irrefutably establish medical necessity.

We show you how to integrate best practice tasks within your clinical and business workflows and lay out everything you need to accurately verify and capture medical necessity criteria. Learn about covered and noncovered CPT® and ICD codes, frequency limitations, LCDs and NCDs policies, ruled out diagnoses, and so much more.
