Hi all I am still looking for assistance with this post I created last week. I would appreciate some comments from coders/auditors that have dealt with this type of situation. Or do you think this chart note is compliant?

I am having a difficult time getting our docs to document all the needed info in the chart. My understanding is that injection documentation has to show: drug name, location/site in injection, route of administration, dosage, and support medical necessity as well as applicable E/M.
Any suggestions on how I can guide my docs in reporting the necessary documentation in the medical chart? Thank you in advance for any assistance.
DOS: 1/1/2001 Patient XXX:
HX: Patient returns for bilateral shoulder and knee injections. She stated that Dr. XXXX did not want to do her shoulder arthroplasty until the scratches on her forearms are healed. She has a puppy and thin skin and constantly has open wounds.
IMPRESSION: Bilateral cuff tear arthropathy and bilateral knee arthrosis.
PLAN: Each of the four joints was injected with 40 mg. of Kenalog. I will see her back as needed.
Signed by : Dr. XXXX
CPT 20610 x 4 and HCPCS J3301 at 16 units.
