My staff is coding for services rendered in a teaching hospital. On most notes both the supervising physician (SP) and resident's names are documented/e-signed. However, on some notes where the SP's documentation states "Seen with resident" and includes the required note concurring with the resident there is no mention of the resident's name or signature. Can anyone tell me if the resident's name or signature is required? I have checked CMS's Guidelines for Teaching.... but could not find anything specific about a resident's signature. It just states "The documentation must be dated and contain a legible signature or identity..."
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
