QHR CODING COMMUNITY
A hospital’s success depends on understanding and implementing the continuous complex changes to
the Federal Register, CPT Manual and Medicare Program Transmittals. Yet, finding what you need to
know and how to use that information is a challenge. The Medicare website is cumbersome to use and
the legal language is often difficult to interpret.
The QHR Coding Community is a new on-line resource that offers all hospital coders and clinical department
managers convenient, reliable answers to these questions. Members can ask their own questions and receive
an expert’s quick email response. The site also provides a searchable library of coding and chargemaster
knowledge interpreted in language you can understand. Support is just a click away!
As a QHR Coding Community member, you will:
■ Save time – Get an answer to your question within two business days! Plus, you will receive an email notification that
your answer has been posted. For even faster service, you can quickly search our archive of hundreds of previously asked
Q&As, and if your question has already been asked, you have an instant answer. Similar on-line resources can take 3
weeks or more for an answer.
■ Get reliable, expert advice – Only QHR coding and reimbursement specialists answer your questions – some on-line
communities allow any member to provide a response to a question. QHR answers also include links to official Medicare
source documents and coding guidelines. And there is no limit to the number of questions you can ask!
■ Stay on top of the latest regulation changes – Receive email notification of changes to the Federal Register, CPT and
Medicare updates and read summarized explanations of these regulatory changes posted on our site by QHR experts- saving
you time and possible lost reimbursement.
■ Work smarter by using coding and chargemaster Job Tools - Download numerous field-tested Job Tools to help improve
your job performance and productivity. Tools include a variety of audit templates and HCPCS code updates.
“I have queried AHIMA’s on-line communities and have never felt confident in the information that
was given to me by others in HIM. With QHR I know the answers are given by experts in the field.”
