Looking for the citation for a coding and documentation rule?
KZA’s nationally recognized coding experts can answer individual coding questions, provide clarity about rules, or review your case coding prior to claim submission.
Your practice establishes an account with KZA and submits questions by email or fax. A consultant provides written answers, scheduling phone time if needed to address or clarify issues. Your team has contact with the consultant for ongoing questions.
