So i just took over coding a service and a few months ago i meet with all the physician's about documentation and coding. I thought all went well for the most part. Well there is this one doctor who comes to clinic once or twice a month, it was very hard for me to catch him but i finally did and for a while his documentation was great but then seemed to slack off a little then once was comfortable went right back to where we started from. I don't see these doctor's everyday since i am not located in the building with them so it may take several days/weeks before i can find them and approach them with these issues. I have several articles for him regarding billing,coding and documention but just wanted a little advise on how should i approach him. I can't just walk up and say "Hey, didn't i tell you that was wrong, why are you doing it again ?" That may work with my 4 year old son but not a doctor
