Transforming Healthcare Reimbursement
We exist to help deliver maximum and appropriate reimbursement through accurate documentation and coding.
Our Story
For over twenty-five years, ZHealth has established a reputation of excellence in the healthcare industry, specializing in interventional radiology, cardiology, electrophysiology, vascular/endovascular surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, and diagnostic radiology coding. With Etch, we’ve brought ZHealth’s knowledge and experience in healthcare to the software space, delivering a structured reporting and automated coding solution to facilities ranging from small practices to large hospital systems.
ZHealth Documentation was founded by a core team of physicians who have experience both performing and coding procedures in these areas. Built by physicians, for physicians, we developed the most advanced coding and documentation software solution, Etch, with the goal of improving documentation, coding compliance, and reimbursement so that you can focus on patient care.
The Values That Guide Us
At ZHealth Documentation, our core values of accuracy, integrity, and innovation guide our approach to delivering the best reimbursement solutions. We believe in providing maximum and appropriate reimbursement through accurate documentation and coding for interventional radiology and cardiovascular centers.
