Clinicians often underbill out of fear their documentation won't hold up. A coding review service found that 80% of cases get paid when clinicians document properly for higher-level adjustments. The fix is better documentation, not lower billing.
Based on their documentation, we do a review and we teach them how they can code for their evaluation and management. We see an uptick right away. Matter of fact, many times we just paid for our fee right there. Wow. Honestly, we have. And so about 80% of the time, that's what we see. The other thing that, that we see is that docs sometimes are fearful. They don't want to bill for that 3-4 adjustment because they're scared that their documentation won't support it. Well, stop being scared and just get your documentation where it needs to be, you know, and that's our approach.
