I am so thoroughly confused now, I'm not even sure what everyone is talking about. I can look at the past 90 days of core measures while in the patients chart....see what I've done for that particular patient and run a report of all patients over the past 90 days. That report shows that I have met the criteria for each of the core measures and have done 4 out of 5 of the menu sets I selected.
This fits with what Donna explained above: you don't need CPT for the core measures or menu items to work.
Then I go to the report section and try to generate a report and there is nothing there. I'm very confused about this coding issue. We do our diagnosis ICD coding and cpt coding when signing the note but we don't bill through AC. I don't understand how that matters.
This part is confusing; can you explain what you mean by "try to generate a report and there is nothing there"? You are correct: it
doesn't matter if you bill through AC, so long as you enter the cpt for each encounter.
I also don't understand the mention of the PM module when no PM module exists. Isn't that the V7 many of us are waiting for?
Adam is using the term "PM" a little differently. It is simply the portion of AC (in V4,5, or 6) that allows you to code cpt's and diagnoses, and then generate a superbill.
