I work for a Hospital and assist with the hospitalist's charges. I have a very small role in this. I have and do see often whereby the Hospitalist will charge an incorrect CPT for patient's location (I am not sure why they do that, as I don't know what they see in EMR/EHR) . The billing department then changes the POS to match the CPT to get the claim out (all insurances). To me, that is incorrect, but I have been told 'dont worry, not your department'. Example patient in OBS status...for some reason the Hospitalist will start entering IP codes (there is no IP order). I don't know enough about this nor know where to look (did search online, but issue was more of changing POS example IP/OBS to Office).
To me it just seems wrong, but I don't know enough to really drive it home. Any advice?? Thanks in advance. Birdie
