When looking for medical necessity for ancillary services performed during an ED or observation encounter, if the attending provider signs his order with a medically necessary diagnosis and fails to document accordingly in the record, is it safe to assign that diagnosis to cover? Are there any Medicare guidelines I may be able to refer to about this?
