We are proud
to share our new Code of Ethics and Standards of Ethical Coding with you. The Code was adopted from AHIMA’s Code of Ethics and modified to fit our industry
and culture.
It may feel like one more thing to do, but having a code
of ethics and standards is important for any business – and vital for one in
the healthcare industry. Coding is one of the core
health information management functions, and due to the complex regulatory
requirements affecting the health information coding process, coding
professionals are frequently faced with ethical challenges.
That’s where our Code of Ethics comes in.
