The AHIMA has developed Standards for Ethical Coding which have eliminated the ethical dilemma of whether to focus on the accuracy of coding versus coding to obtain a better reimbursement for the health-care facility.

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)


False

The Standards for Ethical Coding serve as a guide, but they cannot eliminate the dilemma as many health care facilities continue to apply pressure to upgrade codes whenever possible. Coders feel the pressure due to the desire to please their supervisors, be admired by their coworkers, and help improve the financial picture of the facility, which adds to their job security.
