Imagine you work in a high-pressure cardiology physician office and you are one of

two medical coders. Your supervisor is very focused on the greatest reimbursement
to satisfy revenue projections for the physician practice. As a result, you are asked to
up-code billing. How can the pressure of acquiring the maximum repayment for
services lead to manipulating or falsifying documentation?
