I have been informed by an executive high up in my organization that, as a physician coder billing under the provider's tax id number (not the facility's tax id), once I have educated the provider and documented my coding advice, I no longer have any legal liability for improper coding. I'm not being asked to code something that didn't take place but I am being asked to send through charges that don't follow coding guidelines. I don't believe this advice from a legal standpoint and I definitely don't believe it from the perspective of maintaining my credential but wondered if anyone has information supporting it.
