Physician Auditing 101
As a medical biller or new coder,
it’s important to understand proper documentation, where the information is
found as well as guidelines for proper documentation. Not only is this helpful
in billing, but as a billing company owner, it’s important to ensure that your
clients are properly documenting the services they are asking you to bill. This
class will teach the basics of chart auditing.
This course will cover Physician
Auditing. Auditing is important because it will help identify coding and
documentation errors. It covers History, Examination, and Medical Decision
Making. At the completion of each section is a chapter review. There is a final
exam at the completion of the course.
The course has five sections: Introduction, Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, and Conclusion.
All three classes feature a video
segment with slides. Class 1 covers history of present illness,
review of symptoms, and past medical, family, and social history. Class 2
covers examination. Class 3 covers medical decision making – diagnosis, complexity,
and risk.
This course features a glossary with terms you will need to know to complete
the course, and a resources section with all the necessary documents to
complete the course. The documents include the study guide, final exam terms,
the chapter review questions for reference, CMS E/M Guidelines, SOAP Note,
History, 95 Exam, 97 Exam, Medical Decision Making (MDM), Audit Score Sheet,
and a link to AMBACode.
Upon completion of the last section, you will have the opportunity to take the
final exam covering all the sections. When you've completed the final exam, you
will be able to print a certificate of completion. The test scores are not
recorded until you take the final exam. You must correctly answer 75% of the
final exam questions to achieve a passing score. If you do not achieve a
passing score, you may retake the test.
