Gain an understanding of medical necessity and the importance of correct documentation.
The difference between the government making a determination of medical fraud as opposed to medical necessity lies in your documentation. Physicians, hospitals, labs, long-term care providers, and all other medical providers must properly document that their services were medically necessary. This course will inform providers, compliance professionals, and billers of the meaning and interpretation of the term medical necessity. The course will also provide guidance for properly documenting the procedures and services performed. To better understand the impact of proper documentation of medical necessity, this material will focus on recent government prosecutions and settlements, particularly in areas of increased government focus, such as telehealth services. Gain practical tips and considerations for documenting medical necessity.
