Documentation Review

An integral part of the medical visit process is documentation. It involves creating a comprehensive record of a patient’s visit, detailing issues or medical complaints, suggested medical treatment, required testing and more. As such, you want to ensure that the documentation is clear and concise as this information guides the medical coding and billing for the services rendered.

As you can imagine, there are several reasons for documenting a patient’s visit properly. Here are a few:
Communicating with other health professionals: Documentation is the “what, why, and how” of the care delivered to a patient. Other providers and nursing staff rely on this information to understand the patient’s history to provide the best possible healthcare.
Reducing risk management exposure: An accurately documented patient record serves as proof of treatment and care, helping to lessen liability concerns in case of a legal claim.
Ensuring proper reimbursement: Thorough documentation plays a vital role in revenue cycle management and ensuring that a provider is reimbursed appropriately for services rendered.
Given the demands of your busy schedule, staying updated with continuing education on how to improve provider documentation can be challenging. This is why having Billed Right as your trusted advisor can help. Our experienced team specializes in reviewing documentation and providing feedback on coding and billing guidelines.
We go into the documentation, only after the visit notes are locked:
The coding team retrieves a random sample of weekly visit notes and reviews the components of the documentation to ensure proper guidelines are followed.
We then provide education to doctors on their usage of CPT/ICD-10 to help them improve on future documentation.
Documentation review is just one part of the revenue cycle management process in Billed Right. Contact us today to learn more about how we can partner with you!
