Hi! Im asking some questions for another co-worker...we are having a difference in opinion in our office re the E-prescribe code G8553. She has read ...refer to this code as a "service"- therefore we coders in the office believe it should be documented in the chart, like all other services. We have Docs marking this off on the encounter form as being done but it is not documented in the chart. We have even created a place in the template for this code to be marked. So is documentation required? Second issue.....she has read that when using the G code the dx used should match the drug prescribed. True? and last ?..... She has also read that this code can be used more then once during an encounter when they prescribe more then one Rx?
