I am wondering where in writing that it states the date of service is the actual face-to-face time with patient? The physicians I code for say that the dictation time is in real-time and that is the date of service. The dictation software people say so. SO, I know that dictation time is not the face-to-face time with patient. I NEED in writing somewhere the definition. I have looked extensively at the CMS and WPS websites, and I can find nothing. It seems to inferred. The physicians will only believe what is in writing.
I appreciate any help, Thanx!
