If you pull out your audit sheets and code every bullet you can find in the documentation, how many encounters can you do in a day?
We just had a "Friendly Audit" in that we hired the auditors. The docs mark the DX codes and the level of E/M. Then I write in the DX codes. If I disagree with the E/ level, and I OFTEN do, then I wait three days for the dictation to come back and code it bullet per bullet.
So for those out there that are always reading the dictation and coding the office visit that way, how many can you get done in one day? I have 6 docs, soon to be 7, that see 6 - 18 patients per day. There is no way that I could hand code all of them with the audit sheet.
I'm just trying to get info that I need for hospital administration.
Thanks !!
