The EMR system we use (eclinicalworks) has both the ICD-9 codes and CPT codes listed in the progress note. We have a great deal of problems when something is coded incorrectly by the providers because we have to send the note back to them for correction of the codes. To make the corrections they have to unlock their notes and then make any changes. What we need to know are there any actual laws against a coder making changes to a provider's coding in an electronic progress note. Specifically in this type of setting where the codes are part of the note.
Also, do the codes on the claim have to match the codes in the progress notes. Would it be ok if the coder just changed the coding on the claim?
