Software helps providers hit the correct billing codes.
Faced with the prospect of being slapped with fines for filing fraudulent Medicare and Medicaid claims if they don't follow regulations to the letter, some health care providers are relying on coding software.

The government's zeal to crack down on coding compliance combined with the complexity of coding regulations is leading more health care organizations to turn to automation.
