    Coding tip sheets

    Premera has a suite of coding tip sheets to guide you while coding specific chronic or complex conditions and other particularly tricky coding scenarios, such as coding cancers as historic vs. active, coding immunodeficiency vs. immune disorders, and coding coagulation therapy vs. defects. We also have virtual care guides to help you identify how to capture and document physical exam findings during a telehealth visit.

    Lists for denial edit codes

    If you see a denial edit code on your Explanation of Payment (EOP), you can refer to our professional or facility lists of denial edit codes for details. Each list defines professional and facility claims edits on processed claims. These edits often result in reimbursement denial. Learning about the denial edit codes can help avoid future denials.
