Support for Primary Care
In this episode, we are showing our support for primary care physicians and how we can help them improve documentation.
Primary care physicians are the backbone of our healthcare system. They provide comprehensive health care services to patients and serve as the first line of defense against illness and disease.
Unfortunately, primary care physicians often struggle to keep up with the mountain of documentation requirements required which means that their time spent with patients is diminished, resulting in less efficient patient care.
That’s why we are here today, to discuss ways that primary care physicians can improve their documentation without sacrificing the quality of their patient care.
We will chat with our special guest, national speaker, and risk adjustment expert Christine Hall CHC (AAPC Instructor) CPC , CPB, CPMA, CRC, CEMC, CPC-I
Let's break down HCC and documentation areas of concern to improve efficiency, and calculation of true patient risk and help improve the quality of care.
- Direct Supervision and Telehealth post-PHE
- What is extended until 2024?
- Proper telehealth communication post-PHE
- Documentation that supports clinical indicators
