Rehab documentation
Is your rehab organization losing out on reimbursements? If so, something must be wrong with your rehab documentation. With ever-changing regulations and constant time-constraints, documenting right can be a big task for your therapists. In fact, almost half of all rehab claim denials are because of improper documentation. Therefore, correct documentation is the key to proper reimbursement and patient care in the therapy setting.
Therapists should be well-versed with all of the CMS changes to documentation, understand and use the most commonly used CPT codes and modifiers in rehabilitation therapy, know the deadlines and timeframes she must follow, among a host of other things.
The sad story is that most therapists do not receive formal training on documentation and are often left on their own to decode the complex requirements set by Medicare, Medicaid and managed care companies.
If you do not want this to happen to you, you can sign in for an audio conference, which will help you understand the requirements for documentation, no matter what your therapy setting is. So prepare your rehab organization for a profit-drawing year!
