| Educate and reeducate physicians on documentation |
| Complete and accurate coding hinges upon complete physician documentation. Physicians must document all the necessary details so that ASCs can bill for primary procedures, as well as any other secondary procedures that a surgeon performs. However, physicians often omit these critical facts from their documentation, and this ultimately delays reimbursement because coders have to engage in a back-and-forth query process with physicians to obtain the information they need. |
