Wiki E Clinical and EKG reports

[jdibble]

I am new to eCW at my new job and have had to "teach" myself how to use it since there was no education provided. I am auditing our cardiology group and have advised them that they cannot bill for their EKG's with 93000 because they do not have a separate interpretation report - and one docotr is insisting that what they document is sufficient and that there is a report that can be printed and I just need to find out where it is in the system.

Can someone tell me how I would find this report and print it - if it does exist? This doctor also states that a separate report is not necessary to bill for the global (which is not what I have read in past articles) and that it is never done that way here at this facility and the other facility they are affiliated with. I don't understand this, as where I previously worked there was always a separate, dictated report by a cardiologist aside from the one generated by the machine for all EKG's done in the hospital!

Any help and guidance on this would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Hi-

You should be able to access the report by clicking on the "Devices" button via the Patients HUB.
There should be a green arrow on that button that when you click on it gives you a drop down for the Midmark Reports-ECG
If you open that, you should see something about reports.
I think you may have to have security to view an associated report though.

Thanks,

Thanks Kim for showing me that. I did establish in the case of my physicians they were not dictating any reports anyway, but I see where it would be if I could have gotten them to dictate a report! We discontinued billing the global code and have only been billing 93005 since they could not understand that they needed to have a written report to bill 93000.
