Why are coding and compliance important issues for you? |
 |
|
 |
|
Of course, these issues affect your income, but there is more to the story then that! Here's why…Medicare and Medicaid have specific expectations for how healthcare providers document their care. As
a result, so do the major insurance companies and managed care firms. Federal law requires any clinician who sees
Medicare patients to have a compliance plan in place to meet these expectations. A required element of an acceptable
compliance plan is consistent chart entry and auditing. The goal is to correlate documentation with patient care and
to justify your billing practices. That's where our Challenger Coding and Compliance program can make all the
difference to you…
Created by Peter Jensen, MD, a practicing physician and expert coding instructor, Challenger Coding and Compliance
is designed to take you through every step of the documentation process from patient history to medical decision
making. Using real life clinical examples, you will learn that it's not the quantity of the documentation that
matters but the quality. Challenger Coding and Compliance is the only physician developed maintenance curriculum
designed directly for physicians in practice.
Challenger Coding and Compliance contains:
- 12 online coding lessons, each aimed at a particular stage in the documentation of the patient history, evaluation, and treatment
- 120 questions and answers focusing on each of the areas covered in this state-of-the-art course
- 50-question quick test to let you evaluate your own coding and competency
- 10 AAFP Prescribed Credits
- 24 AMA Category CME Credits
- 10 CEU Coding Credits
With our course, you will learn:
- All you need to know about how to document the key components of history, physical exam, and medical decision-making
- How to quantify your medical decision-making to select the "correct" level of care on your chart
- The principles of 'Rational Physician Coding' and how to apply them to the most common
encounters with your admitted patients
- Rational physician coding for established office patients
- Rational physician coding for hospital progress notes
- The tricks of the trade when it comes to performing and documenting consults in both the inpatient and outpatient setting
In Addition:
- Using real-life clinical examples, you'll learn when to use admission H&P codes vs. observation codes
- See what it takes to qualify for critical care and learn how to calculate the time spent
- Learn how to quantify your medical decision-making and select the "correct" level of care for E/M services
provided in the emergency department
When this stimulating education on physician coding
techniques is completed, the typical physician can realize a 25-40% improvement in auditing and
billing outcomes, fewer chart rejections, and a greatly reduced risk of investigational audit.
