OVERVIEW
This insightful session will give you clarity on medical decision making versus medical necessity. What things are auditors looking to find when your records are being reviewed? How can I work with my clinician/physician to improve his/her documentation? Medical necessity means more than just "fluff" in the medical record. We will discuss how to justify the physician's care plan and avoid take backs from third party payers.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
It is vital for the entire care team to take part in adapting to the rules that we must follow when it comes to justifying the medical necessity of a visit or encounter. This is relevant to low level visits as well, ex: 99211. What is CMS' opinion of a low level visit and the medical necessity that must be stated in the medical record to justify the billing? Who can provide this level of care? What about services such as blood pressure checks, allergy injections, Coumadin clinic? How do I validate my notes for the auditors? It is imperative that we work together to improve the outcome of patient care.
AREAS COVERED
We will look at the relevance of each part of an evaluation code. How does the medical decision making tie in with medical necessity? Areas of concern are copying, pasting, and cloning in the medical record. Addressing the history of the patient and the chief concern for the service. This Webinar is particularly useful for those wishing to maximize their revenue, see an older, sicker population, or currently report a high level of level IV and V office visit codes. How am I conveying to the payer that my services were in fact necessary? Is this being told on my claims reporting?
