The hospital I work at is currently transitioning to EMR. It has been said that we (billers and coders) will have limited access to the medical record due to HIPPA laws preventing us from PHI. I am in DIRE need to find documentation that states that I as the coder / biller need access to the patients chart in its entirity, just as I would the paper chart we are currently depleting. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
