Again, that's a different question. Upcoding is rampant, more the rule than the exception. But without any statistics to back it up, I think more practices have persons other than the physician doing the coding---it isn't necessarily a problem in and of itself, but it should be closely monitored. And I never took anything that was posted as a personal accusation (I would have head many more rolling, laughing little men
)
