Is a physician still liable for the CPT and ICD9 code assigned by an EMR's internal coding software system? Let's say that the software has the current CMS regs and CCI edits, and is updated regualrly.
I had a physician state that the EMR vendor told the practice that the company who owns the program (in this case, the vendor) is liable for the codes selected, not the end user, if an external audit revealed a coding issue.
