Hello,
Can anyone tell me if the teaching physician's bill/note must reflect the "personal work of obtaining a history" since the new change regarding the student documentation?
"CMS recently made a change in the requirements regarding how a teaching physician can use student documentation for a billable service. The change requires that the teaching physician must verify in the medical record all student documentation or findings, including history, physical exam, and/or medical decision making and must personally perform or re-perform the exam and medical decision making but does not need to re-document this work."
Does this apply for both Student and Resident?
Thanks!
