Lack of Documentation is the #1 reason for Claims Denial
Jurisdiction 11 Part B
Lack of Documentation is the #1 reason for Claims Denial
- Lack of documentation in the medical record is the #1 reason for claims being denied for payment. Providers can fix that by documenting the following:
- History of illness from onset to decision for surgery
- Prior courses of treatment and results
- Current symptoms and functional limitations
- Physical exam detailing objective findings supporting history of illness
- Results of any special tests
