Meditec provides the Alpha II Coding System developed by physicians and coders who publish coding manuals. It is a wonderful standalone product which will assist your billing-coding staff enormously. If you are a coding student, be sure to consider adding it to your course. If you plan on establishing yourself in business as a coder-biller, it is mandatory. A recognized leader in the industry, the Alpha II Coding System is one of the very best medical coding tools you can buy anywhere, and is used by hospitals, private clinics, physicians’ offices, and professional coders throughout the country.
About Alpha II
The Alpha II technology solutions support coding, compliance, claims editing and revenue analysis for more than 30,000 healthcare professionals at medical practices, hospitals and health systems, clinics, billing services, outpatient facilities and other healthcare organizations, both commercial and governmental. Alpha II solutions enhance practice management, electronic medical record (EMR) and other healthcare information systems.
Features:
- Pre-edit your claims, ensure compliance and validate every aspect of your coding before it ever leaves your office.
- Alpha II takes your coding through edits and checks mandated by Medicare and private carriers, helping ensure that the claim will not be “unprocessable,” downcoded or rejected due to incorrect or incomplete coding.
- Enter code numbers or partial or complete descriptions – even abbreviations – and Alpha II’s search engine will locate the precise code you need.
- “Can’t miss” 4th and 5th digits ensure you have valid codes that are as specific as possible.
- “Bundling edits” make sure you meet all CCI requirements.
- Modifier edits tell you when selected codes require modifiers (such as –51), and those that are applicable, but not required, for the CPT codes you select.
The Alpha II Coding System is available as a Single User License for $1,295.00, or a Multi-User (2-3) User License for $1,795.00. Because Meditec is an authorized reseller of the AlphaII, you do not need to be a student or enrolled in one of Meditec’s courses in order to purchase this software. Whether you are a trained and experienced medical coder or not, you will realize tremendous benefits by using the AlphaII. Of course, to get the most from the software, you do need a basic understanding of medical terminology, medical coding and insurance claims processing. If you need additional training in Medical Coding, Meditec also has you covered — Learn more about our Medical Coding Training Course.
