Timely and accurate episode coding is critical for any hospital depending on receiving revenue under Payment by Results (PbR).
Coding backlogs can result in delayed or missed payments and represents a significant financial risk.
Tribal helps reduce coding backlog by providing high quality, temporary coding professionals to partner our clients’ in-house teams and will aim to code 50 episodes per day.
Our directly employed clinical coding consultants guarantee consistent, expert, value-added services as they are:
- accredited clinical coders - each with a minimum three years' NHS clinical coding experience
- skilled in coding all specialities
- experienced with all clinical coding software
- accomplished in ICD-10 and OPCS-4 codes.
Tribal’s flexible service means that we can provide coders for any length of time including during the week and/or weekends and even at short notice.

“Westhill's (a part of Tribal) guaranteed minimum number of episodes coded per day meant I could easily calculate how many coders I needed to clear my backlog.”
