Well it is from one of the IPA's rep and I am investigating it more.
They are going to send me the info from CMS. She is saying that there has to be a date and sign off time next to your sign off name when they see the progress note.
If MEdicare ever audits then they can disallow the note and say it was not done properly. This IPA has forms to fill out and I also have to fax in the progrees notes when they caught this. They disqualifies 3 of my forms because of this. They said to get credit, since there is no date and time stamp, I have to write out the progree note by hand and sign it with a date and time right there next to my name. Ths is ridiculous, so every medicare pt has to be done with paper chart and everyone else put on AC?
If this is correct, this will affect everyone on here who sees medicare patients becuase Ac doesn't have a time and date stamp next to it. If I get the letter I will post it on here. In fact, I know many EMR's that don't put the time and date stamp right next to the name at the bottom.
