| Tackle 12 important medical record documentation issues |
| ASC business offices have a lot to worry about. With so much to keep track of-coding, billing, managed care-it is easy to let something slip off the radar screen.
But think again before you let subpar physician documentation slide. Poor documentation can affect an ASC's reimbursement and create compliance risk.
For example, if an op report is not detailed enough, it can cause you to underbill procedures, costing your facility revenue. If your physicians use canned op reports, it can lead to a compliance issue with Medicare, meaning Medicare could come back to recoup money. |
