Hello,
We've recently begun utilizing the orders module for electronic charge capture, but are wondering what the guidelines are for any charge corrections. Do the EMR charges need to match the claim form exactly? Or is it acceptable for changes to be made in the billing module by our CPCs and leave EMR orders/charges as is (so long as the office note/documentation supports the charges on the ticket)?
Scenario 1:
Provider forgets to add injection charge. Documentation clearly states that injection was performed. Charge entry verifies injection and medications via EMR flag with provider and updates in ticket. Does the provider then have to add the charges to EMR?
Scenario 2:
Provider charges both global visit and E/M code for a separate body part. Charge entry would remove the global charge and add a modifier to the E/M code. Does this need to be updated in EMR?
Thank you!
