My office billers and NP are in a discussion about dialysis unit monthly rounding documentation for billing. We currently use a rounding sheet that has the 3 monthly NP limited visits on one sheet. My NP asked why we could not use the dialysis flow sheet that she reviews makes notes and signs during her rounds. The dialysis flow sheets have more information but are used to bill the dialysis treatments. My billing staff argues that, the flowsheet is not our documentation and is much more paperwork with 3 pages per patient vs. 1 page per patient. We have over 300 patients.

Does it matter which form of documentation we use from a billing standpoint?
