What is the main purpose of the Error Frequency Report?

The main purpose of the Error Frequency Report is to offer a comprehensive overview of all errors associated with submitted files. This report aggregates data on errors encountered during the processing of claims or submissions, allowing coders and healthcare providers to understand where errors are occurring and how frequently. By identifying common errors, organizations can implement targeted strategies to improve coding accuracy, enhance submission quality, and ultimately minimize claim denials and rejections.

The report serves as a valuable tool for continuous improvement in the coding and billing process, enabling healthcare entities to maintain compliance and optimize revenue cycles. Accessing an overview of these errors helps facilities focus on training and education to address the issues that are leading to frequent mistakes. As a result, this report plays a crucial role in fostering better practices and enhancing overall performance in healthcare coding and reimbursement processes.
