Preliminary Radiology Reports included in a Final Report Record in the ED.

Hi There,

I am wondering if anyone could clarify the correct way to document a Final Report in the ED.
To my knowledge - especially when dealing with Medicare Claims; a Preliminary Radiology Report should not be a part of a Final ED Note. In other words - the Radiology Report should be finalized as well, when it is interventional and a part of the diagnosis decision making process. Am I correct in this thought or is it incorrect? Please enlighten me.

Thank You -
