Занятие 4

Before you can accurately code a record, you have to understand what you are reading. In Session 4, we move into the physician-based health record and focus on reading documentation like a coder. We explore the setting, source of documentation, assessment and plan, procedure documentation, EHR challenges, and the importance of understanding the complete story before assigning codes. Key reminder: Understand the record before you code the record.
