I am performing an audit on a few doctors and I am noticing that on their OP report and E/M they are not signing the actual note. It is still in UNREVIEWED status on the physical note. However within their internal system they state that the status of the file is SIGNED meaning they signed the note for that day somewhere but there is not a physical note that has the signature of the MD. So if the insurance requested the medical record it would not show a signature on file. Only a print screen of the system could be provided.
I am thinking that all of these would be unbillable since they are preliminaries even though their internal system says that they signed the note with a date stamp.
Any thoughts? I am meeting with the MDs and want to make sure that all of my ducks are in a row and these are truly unbillable or not.
Thanks!
