Decipher a Physician’s Medical Decision Making.

When auditing critical care, there’s a lot to think about. You have to search for keywords that tell you whether or not the physician accurately coded critical care or not. Remember, just because a patient has a potentially life-threatening illness doesn’t mean that every visit can be billed as critical care. Coding critical care requires the physician to provide a life-saving measure during the visit, it requires complex Medical Decision Making, and an accurate documentation of time.
