Are POS Coding Errors Costing Your Practice Revenue?

Incorrect Place of Service (POS) coding remains one of the most common—and preventable— causes of claim denials, delayed payments, and reimbursement discrepancies.

When the wrong POS code is reported, payers may reduce payment, deny the claim, or flag it for review. In some cases, certain errors cannot be corrected through simple claim resubmission, which means the reimbursement may be lost entirely.

Common risks associated with incorrect POS coding include:

• Payment reductions due to incorrect facility vs. non-facility designations
• Claim denials that delay reimbursement
• Conflicts with other billing elements such as duplicate or unbundled services
• Compliance concerns when documentation does not match the reported service location

To help healthcare organizations address these issues, coding expert Keisha Wilson, CCS, CPC, CPCO, CPMA, CRC, CPB, and **AAPC Approved Instructor, will lead a 60-minute online training on Tuesday, April 28th at 1 PM ET.

During this session, Keisha will walk through how to correctly select POS codes and align them with documentation so claims are submitted accurately the first time.

You’ll leave with practical strategies to reduce POS-related claim rejections, protect reimbursement, and strengthen compliance.
