Defensive Documentation

This course is not open to the public.

This course will cover and review the necessary components of documentation required to support the need for therapy services and the provision of skilled treatment by the clinician. With ongoing changes to regulatory and third party payer requirements, it is essential for therapists to stay current with the criteria utilized for determining medical necessity and the provision of reasonable and necessary services when documentation is audited. Definitions of key documentation terms will be reviewed, tips will be provided to help strengthen the content of your documentation as well as a discussion on how to minimize your risk as an organization and practitioner through use of audits and quality improvement activities.
