Abstract
Clinical documentation has become extremely robust over the last decade with sophisticated algorithms to codify data for quality and operational improvements; however some electronic medical record systems are now adding billing data to create charge by documentation. This not only saves time for staff coding cases but creates an important link between the clinical documentation and charges. This one year retrospective case study analyzes one such application that codes endoscopy procedures based on the documentation to compare the automated coding method with manual physician billing to determine the efficacy of charge by documentation.
