“PwC's SMART (Systematic Monitoring and Review Technology) supports client coding quality monitoring to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of coding and enable quality and compliance reviews. In one client case study, SMART drove an impact of $1.8 million as a result of about 17% of flagged cases reviewed needing corrections and a diagnosis-related group (DRG) revision in over half of the cases flagged.”
IDC Research, Next-Generation Revenue Cycle, May 2020

“It’s difficult for our clients to review thousands of claims before they bill. SMART flags help them to pinpoint which cases need a second look and reduce time wasted on those with no errors.”
“SMART really shines when you bring in new coding staff because it can closely monitor their accuracy and identify areas of concern so that training can be provided quickly.”
“You have to be ready to respond in a timely manner. But I think a better way to prepare yourself is to determine how to stop denials from happening in the future. That is where SMART comes in to maximize accuracy and reduce rework.”
