When auditing daily charges: When auditing E/M, can I use the information entered by the physicians MOA towards points for the physicians level of charge? Or do I only use what the physician enters or dictates?
Information entered by the MOA can only be used when:
1. Reviewed and acknowledged by the physician and noted in the patient's medical record
2. MOA can perform certain services, i.e. vitals, ROS (these must be acknowledged and approved by physician)
