Overview: 

Medicine is continually changing, including how to bill and how to document.  Unfortunately, education regarding how and what should be documented for accurate coding and billing is not something that is routinely educated upon until the provider is in the workforce. We know this because of the education we continually give to new as well as seasoned providers on proper documentation.  This module group gives providers a basic understanding of billing and provides an in-depth look at why documentation is important and how to achieve accurate documentation. Accurate documentation starts with the basics; an understanding of why it is important and then an understanding of how to document accurately.
