In medical coding and compliance, attention is often focused on overcoding due to its association with fraud, waste, and abuse. However, undercoding is an equally important—and frequently misunderstood—issue. While it may seem like a safer way to avoid scrutiny, undercoding is still a coding error, a compliance concern, and a reportable variance under both CMS and OIG guidelines.

In this episode, Terry breaks down why undercoding is now on the radar and why providers need to address it immediately.
