There’s a reason Aquity delivers improved financial outcomes

— it’s because we have better tools, better processes, and a

better understanding of how payers react to submitted claims.

Our coding services deliver cost-effective Key Performance

Indicator (KPI) results. Working closely with your team, we

ensure you stay ahead of changing government and payer

requirements; delivering workflow control, cost, quality, and

turnaround time results that produce maximum allowable

reimbursements and minimum payer rejects.

Aquity’s highly cost competitive coding services are backed

by industry leading Fluency For CodingTM (FFC), CDI and

other technology-enabled quality checks supporting an

endless loop of feedback to our AHIMA and AAPC certified

coders. Our proprietary integration of service process and

technology enabled quality reviews reliably yield quality

scores that are measurably above national averages.

Our coding services help clients achieve improved financial

outcomes. We support the full range of client types (from

large multi-campus IDNs and university health systems to

small community hospitals and physician practices) and

case mixes (inpatient, outpatient, and pro-fee) with full

outsourcing, staff augmentation, or PRN support. And with

Aquity, clients benefit from crystal clear visibility of their RCM

workflow and the resulting KPIs that determine the health of

their healthcare business.

Aquity leads the industry with flexible workflow models

that help our scribes serve as trusted personal assistants

who regularly expand their physician support beyond basic

discrete and non-discrete chart completion duties.

Unlike onsite scribes who have high turn-over rates and

are inherently limited to one-on-one physician/scribe

relationships, Aquity’s virtual scribe approach assigns a

primary scribe for 75% of a physician’s workload and splits

the remaining encounters between a pair of back-ups,

ensuring uninterrupted services of up to speed physician-

synced support when staff members move on.

As one of the dominant players in the virtual scribe

marketplace, Aquity provides scribing services to thousands

of physicians coast to coast, boosting clinical and financial

results while reducing physician burnout and increasing

patient satisfaction. Aquity’s real-time scribe, ScribeAssistTM,

and DynaScribeTM workflow options minimize keyboarding

time, comfortably increase patient loads during normal

workday schedules, and accelerate accurate chart closures.

Key Differentiators:• 20% increase in daily patient

encounters

• 12% increase in average RVUs

• 98% same-day chart closure rates

• Measurably reduced physician

burnout
