Coding Advisor

Help providers reduce common billing errors with a proven education solution.

Reduce low-dollar, high-volume errors

Low-dollar, high-volume billing errors are frustrating for providers and health plans alike. These kinds of errors often lead to provider abrasion due to increased:

  • Claim denials
  • Medical record requests
  • Appeals

Optum® Coding Advisor is an outreach-based solution that uses paid claim data to identify common billing errors and educate providers to improve billing behavior on future claim submissions.

Key benefits

Coding Advisor combines AI and behavioral science to deliver targeted coding insights without disrupting the provider workflow. 

Identify the right providers with technology

Our advanced analytics identify providers who repeatedly submit erroneous claims and flag them for additional education. 

Take a targeted approach

We deliver targeted provider messaging on potentially erroneous billing to educate providers in a collaborative, non-confrontational way. 

Multi-channel engagement

Our highly trained coders contact providers via direct mail and phone to provide insight and further explain complex billing inaccuracies. 

Embed education into the provider workflow

We supplement high-touch engagement with pre-submission, claim-level messaging to encourage self-correction prior to adjudication.
