Rationale: The more federal and state mandated health care cost reform legislation comes into play, the more the burden of proof is placed on the health care community to justify their services and receive proper reimbursement for them. That means more man-hours in coding, medical records logging and storing, EDI, and the evaluation of systems and procedures.
