Medicare Fraud & Abuse Procedural Terminology & Recovery Audit Contractors Discussion
I don’t understand this Management question and need help to study.
Background Information
Increased documentation is loathe of many people in healthcare, but much of it is necessary to ensure fraud is not taking place. Proper documentation is necessary to prove what is being billed for what was performed. Clear and concise medical record documentation is critical to providing patients with quality care, ensuring accurate and timely payment for the services furnished, mitigating malpractice risks, and helping healthcare providers evaluate and plan the patient’s treatment and maintain the continuum of care.
