Hi! I was wondering for a medical coder who works at a private practice for cardiology (interventional, general, and EP) and is the only coder for 14 providers what the norm would be for the amount of reports being submitted a day?
I only code for hospital procedures. So I am doing all of the interventional, general, and EP coding for all 14 of our providers. They want me submitting 100 or more procedures per week (so 20 procedures a day). All of our providers are going to the hospitals here every day and performing some kind of procedure. Some are doing multiple procedures a day too.
On top of this I also help with credentialing, pulling hospital records for those who do not have access, and answering any coding questions for our authorization department/my coworkers might have.
Is this too much? I just want to know what is too much and or if this is the average for a practice wanting this amount out of their only medical coder.
Thank you!
