Care and Coding Reminders

Coding gaps are also located within Eligibility & Benefits Care Reminders. Coding gaps are inconsistencies between encounter documentation and claim diagnosis codes, e.g. physician documentation states a diagnosis of diabetes, but the submitted claim does not include a diagnosis code for diabetes.
