I am in a situation to where the company I work for wants to approve all E/M's with out a CPC examining it. E/M's do go through a coding software, however doctors do not dictate well (no diagnosis, wrong time statements, not enough info....etc) and often times level of codes are different from what the program says. My question is, if I approve these dictations without going through them (my name is attached to them) and the company gets audited and find all of the defects, can my CPC certificate be affected?
Us coders are in a sticky situation and we would like your input.
