I do believe that patient should always keep their doctors, specialists in formed of any changes to prevent coding errors and lawsuits. Following all guide lines and protocols is the best thing to do, to prevent any lawsuits and losing their job as well. Keep up the good work

    Electronic Health Record Inaccurate Information

    Inaccurate data threatens patient safety and can lead to increased costs, inefficiencies, and poor financial performance. Further, inaccurate or insufficient data also inhibits health information exchange (HIE) and hinders clinical research, performance improvement, and quality measurement initiatives. A meaningful electronic health record (EHR) improves the ability for healthcare professionals to enact evidence-based knowledge management and aids decision making for care.

    Medicare Fraud Case Analysis

    In the U.S., 50 million people depend on the Medicare program for their health needs, and the taxpayers bear the burden of $600 billion per year to fund the program. Therefore, the program’s administration is compelled to curtail Medicare related fraud, abuse and wastage of resources that add up to about $58 billion annually – or approximately 10 percent of the budget. For the last two decades, Medicare fraud has infested the program like an incurable cancer with over $1 trillion compromised.

    Billing Practices In Healthcare

    Historically, these current billing practices have driven up the cost of care, decreased access, and created delays in care. This system fosters unproductive use of the healthcare workforce in ways that continue to limit the ability of nurse practitioners to access their patients, especially in underserved and rural areas. To further complicate the reimbursement of nurse practitioners, the clinical role of NP’s is directed largely by state scope-of-practice laws that determine the services that can be billed independently and those that NP’s can provide with physician oversight. Currently, 18 states permit NP’s to treat, diagnose and prescribe medications for patients without physician supervision or collaboration, while seven states require…
