I just read a bunch of previous questions regarding PA opnote documentation questions, however, I am still confused.
We hired a PA several months ago and reimbursement has been an issue. When I review the coding edits and the assist is a "1". I seem to be getting denials on each procedure with a "1". Should we not have the PA assist on these cases? OR --- should we appeal these procedures? If the answer is yes how do I appeal the procedures if the docs do not document the reason for the PA being in on the case.
We have a meeting coming up and it would be great if someone could direct me to a source that details what the documentation requirements are for PA assists.
Would really appreciate your assistance!!!
Thanks
