Our Methodology

The Ocean Managed Coding Model

Traditional staffing agencies just fill a seat. We believe our coders' performance is our responsibility. Here’s how we utilize our proprietary model to manage the outcome, reduce risk, and guarantee quality—not just the placement.

Ocean Health Executives Leadership and Advisory Team

We provide a tenured, credentialed Subject Matter Expert (SME) to act as a single point of contact and liaison to Hospital leadership. This SME manages the Ocean team directly, ensuring clear communication, immediate escalation resolution, and strict alignment with your facility's specific guidelines.

Our SMEs are responsible for managing daily productivity and performing consistent quality assurance audits. They handle coding queries and problem-solving in real-time, effectively removing the administrative burden of micromanaging external resources from your internal leadership.

We take the heavy lifting off your internal team by handling scheduling, EMR access coordination, and system training. This streamlined process ensures our resources are productive from day one, minimizing downtime and disrupting your operations as little as possible.
