The dr who says..I'll just update my superbill (any source document) and circle the appropriate code..That is not going to work. Superbills (source docs) will need to be pages and pages.With the frustration of EMRs today..and the slowing down of the practice because of all the required information..think of what is going to happen next Oct. With ICD-10, there is no way that the bookkeeper is going to be able to look at a medical record and code the encounter. Of course we know that it is done all the time now. What we will see is inaccurate coding.lots of denials.I think the business of denials..that will be very BIG. So coders..learn the process of billing. And allow me to introduce our terrific course:
