Hello,
I recently started billing for a Neurology Group and I am having trouble with providers and other staff understand the importance of entering orders for procedures such as Botox, ONB Injections, EEG, TCD, EMG, VEEG, ect. They state that they have been doing these procedures for over 8 years and they have never entered an order in the patients chart because the providers document it recommendation in the treatment plan part of the patient encounter.
Have I been doing this wrong the whole time? are orders not required for procedures? and are orders date specific? Im so confused, can someone please help me.
