As part of the new process at our facility we are required to tell the provider that the level they have selected will be down or up coded to match the documentation.
Now what is happening is the doctor(s) are coming back and saying they will add more documentation after the fact so they can receive a higher level or the one
the originally selected. This feels wrong since the motivation is ($$$) RVU's. Upper management doesn't think anything is wrong with this. Am I over reacting here or does
anyone else see a problem with this?? If you agree with me please if you have anything that I can show as proof I would greatly appreciate it!
