Hi All

I have just received word from my Director that my medical records have been audited for coding accuracy. I have a meeting in a week about this (although I do not have the specifics) and am wondering if anyone has any references for provider coding in Occ Health Workers comp injuries. I have been doing this for 2 decades, have my cheat sheets still, but am wondering if I may have missed something new.

 

Also, have any of the rest of you who work in a hospital owned OH (that is not the hospital employee health department) had accuracy audits on your charts? I have had one in my current institution (more than 2 years ago) where I scored 97% accuracy. Haven't had one since.

 

I am not opposed to process improvement and learning if things have changed, so this may be an opportunity.

 

Just curious about others' experiences  and thoughts.

Thanks

Deb
