CPT Coding Variation Is Costing You Revenue

Same patients.

Same care.

Lost revenue.

E/M coding differences aren’t clinical, they’re driven by documentation. Without visibility, providers undercode and health systems miss meaningful reimbursement. One system lost $219K in a single specialty. (See report for how we calculated this.)

Even small gaps like discharge coding can scale to $100K+ annually per speciality.

The Hidden Gap

Two providers can deliver identical care and generate different revenue—based solely on coding.

Most health systems lack:

  • Peer benchmarks
  • Provider-level visibility
  • Dollar-level insight

...Meaning the missed revenue goes unnoticed.
