Our software currently has a glitch were only 4 dx can be entered for claims. Sometimes the Doc has 5 or 6 dx documented in the chart, but we cannot input those for billing the claim. Only the top four. Is this a big problem? Is it considered fraudulant to not report the other codes? I know only 4 codes appear on a claim anyway, but I am getting mixed answers.
I just want to know that if an audit happens, I would be penalized for not have the 5th or 6th code on the billing side of things.
Please help!
