As one of the early pioneers, Leprechaun has been providing full service turnkey Retrospective since 2005. The strength of the Leprechaun Retrospective product is the sophisticated system developed for identifying, quantifying and ranking medical records. Our predictive models for chart selection algorithms rank as one of the best in the industry, utilizing four rule categories to generate over 31,900 trigger combinations of ICD9s, CPT, HCPCS and NDC codes. Because of the power of our rules engine, Leprechaun achieves exceptional financial performance, while still maintaining a minimum of 95% code accuracy. In 2008, our clients experienced an exceptional average ROI of 4.6.
