Is there a set amount of time that CMS considers 'unreasonable', for providers to take to complete their dictation after a visit? I remember seeing that they recommend that it's done as quickly as possible to ensure accuracy, but do they specify a deadline, or is what's considered "reasonable" open to interpretation?
I'm looking for something along the lines of "Providers must complete dictation within one week of the encounter" (or whatever amount of time, as long as it's defined), and preferably a guideline, and not a suggestion...can anybody point me in the right direction?
