Documentation-The Hospitalist point of view
Presented by Jessica Whitley MD, MBA, C-CDI
Read Jessica's Bio
This webinar series of 1 hour each will be taught by Jessica Whitley, MD, MBA, C-CDI. Dr. Whitley is board certified in internal medicine and currently practices as a hospitalist in the Cleveland, Ohio area. Dr. Whitley is also a consultant with DocuComp LLC, and has expertise in clinical documentation improvement and Physician Advisor services. Because she is a practicing hospitalist she is aware of the need to be able to document efficiently and effectively. This series will give hospitalists and other physicians that practice in the hospital setting the information needed to ensure coding and billing compliance, and to ensure that proper severity of illness and medical necessity is demonstrated through clinical documentation.
Section 1: Evaluation and Management Coding
Part 1: The Basics
This course covers the basics of Evaluation and Management coding and the most common CPT codes utilized in the inpatient setting. After this course physicians should understand how to efficiently document and choose the correct CPT code to reflect the medical decision making of the services provided.
Part 2: Consults and Time Based Billing
This course covers the nuances of consult coding and coding based on time. The inappropriate use of consult codes has gotten the attention of the Office of the Inspector General, and it is critical to understand what justifies the medical necessity of consult services and how to properly bill for consults. Additionally, understanding how to utilize time-based billing is essential for critical care services and for time intensive encounters that lack medical decision elements.
Section 2: Inpatient vs. Outpatient Status: Why it Matters and Learning How to Make the Choice
Understanding medical necessity is essential to the proper utilization of health care resources. This course utilizes case studies to convey a clear understanding of what medical necessity is and how it should be used to determine inpatient vs. outpatient status.
Section 3: Words Matter: Understanding the Importance of Explicit Documentation
Explicit documentation is essential to capture the diagnoses that appropriately reflect the severity of illness and justify the consumption of resources necessary to care for the hospitalized patient. This course will review critical documentation principles needed to demonstrate the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of care, as well as capture the diagnoses needed for the appropriate reimbursement for care.
