Please let me know about hospitalist leaving their electronic notes in "DRAFT" format in our electronic system, we use MediTech.
I claim that we shouldn't be billing these out until the doctor's e-sign. I am getting lots of push back on this. Sometimes these notes are left in draft for over 4 weeks.
Also I find many signed and the "DICTATION ANOMALIES" are still present. That tells me the doctor just signed and made no corrections.
When Medicare asks for progress notes, I have a problem printing those and sending them when the system still notes them as "DRAFT".
I have called FirstCoast and haven't gotten a conclusive answer.
Please give me some feedback. Thanks so much.
