The administrative burden of accurate coding is a major contributor to physician burnout, a problem even worse since the COVID pandemic. Studies consistently show it's a leading cause of stress for doctors and staff. Incorrect coding, including medical coding mistakes, can have serious financial consequences for medical practices.

Denial of claims, reduced reimbursements, and audits can all lead to significant revenue loss. Additionally, pressure to see more patients and bill more to compensate for lower reimbursements only worsens burnout.
