Have any specialist clinics out there been having trouble meeting the guideline of at least 10 patient encounters that have had an e-prescription sent?
I work for a General/Vascular surgery practice and I have 5 eligible providers. Most of our prescriptions are for pain meds and that is usually given after surgery not during the office visit. According to one of our surgeons he has not heard anyone talking about this?
I am the only coder in the practice and I guess I'm just getting a little nervous that no one else seems to be talking about it and we are really struggling to get a claim that meets the criteria in order to submit the G8553.
If anyone has any suggestions or can share their experience with this, I would greatly appreciate any advice.
Thanks.
