Clinical coding auditors

Our clinical coding auditors are highly skilled and experienced, with a high level of clinical coding knowledge and external audit experience. At Mamco, our clinical coders are happy to go the extra mile to ensure Australia’s health services maintain accurate medical coding data and prevent costly inaccuracies.

As well as clinical coding specialists, we are also trained in contract coding audits, including planning and reporting and providing audit optimisation samples. We can also take care of on-site and remote medical coding services, education and training.
