Medical billing and coding experts are individuals who review medical billing and coding to ensure claims submitted for payment by the provider are usual, customary, and reasonable (UCR). Oftentimes, these specialized experts are hired by the client to offer an opposing viewpoint to the original billing affidavit by signing a counter-affidavit.
The Case Challenge
Our client represented a defendant in a personal injury lawsuit involving a slip and fall incident. Their case required a medical billing and coding expert to controvert medical bills from two providers. This medical expert need to be certified by the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC), possess comprehensive knowledge in determining UCR fees, and have prior testimony experience.
The Expert Solution
The IMS medical expert witness services case intake team quickly identified two in-house billing experts who fit the requirements and sent their credentials, certifications, testifying experience, and background details to our client.
