Guest guest Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Does anyone have a reference delineating whether or not and how much documentation time is included in a patient's treatment session? Is it an issue of timed v. untimed coding? Thanks, B Schroedter, PT Miami, FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Documentation time is never a billable function under Medicare Part A or B. Only direct resident time counts towards minutes under A or CPT under B. If a therapist is very efficient he/she may be able to complete some documentation during the treatment session while explaining to the resident progress or results of the evaluation, etc. " G " Documentation time > Does anyone have a reference delineating whether or not and how much > documentation time is included in a patient's treatment session?
