Lime's virtual coding staff hold credentials including CCS (Certified Coding Specialist), CHC (Certified in Healthcare Compliance), HCS-D (Home Care Coding Specialist – Diagnosis), and HCS-H (Home Care Coding Specialist – Hospice). We match coder credentialing to your agency's specific scope and risk requirements.
Standard turnaround is same-day or 24 hours on routine cases. Complex cases (unusual comorbidities, hospital documentation discrepancies, ambiguous primary diagnosis) may take longer with explicit clinician follow-up. We commit to specific SLAs in your staffing agreement.
Lime's virtual coders are trained on the PDGM clinical groupings, functional impairment scoring, and comorbidity adjustments. They're not just assigning codes, they're capturing the documentation that drives correct payment classification, and flagging cases where the documentation doesn't support optimal classification.
Yes, and most agencies that switch from outsourced coding to virtual coding staffing see a cost reduction (predictable monthly cost vs per-chart pricing) and a quality improvement (dedicated coders learning your agency vs rotating outsourced reviewers). Migration typically takes 30-60 days.
