Documentation

[notatthebeach@gmail.com]

I have a provider that is wanting to bill for services that have been performed, but not yet documented so that they can get their reimbursement from the insurance company and allowing the providers time to "go back" and finish it later. This really doesn't set well with me and I have always been trained that documentation before billing. "If it isn't documented, it wasn't done." Everything I have looked up follows that train of thought for the most part. Any additional thoughts or points of view on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

I would not bill anything that didn't have complete and signed documentation.

How do you know if you're billing accurately without the documentation to support it?

Additionally, what happens if the provider didn't loop back and complete the documentation later? There would almost certainly be documents that fell through the cracks, because they've already been paid. There's a reason why documentation needs to be completed up front.

My thoughts exactly. Thanks!!
