Filing paperwork

(1/7) > >>

dfranklin:
I am trying to get the control of my papers.  I have only a couple of providers and I have SOOO much paperwork. The company that trained me said that we don't need to keep the files that we can shred them since the provider has the originals. Once we have submitted and posted we don't need them.  Is this true?

What is common practice? Do you file everything just like to providers office? That would require A LOT of flinging space? If you do file do you have a patient folder for each patient or do you just file by DOS?  I have superbills/chart notes and EOB's and other insurance correspondance.  What do I do with all of these?  If I keep them how long do I keep them for? And how do i go back through to clear them out in order to not have them grow ridcously to where I need a storage just for files?

Help is appreciated!!!

Thanks!

look at OIG website, and your state and federal legislation regarding this issue

The only paperwork that I keep is the logs of their sessions.  I return everything they send to me, EOB's, Intakes etc after I send the claim.

We keep papers on file.  Often we need to go back and look at something.  Also, I like to be able to go back to the provider and say "that's not what you gave me" when it is necessary, and unfortunately, it is necessary.

Just develop a GOOD filing system, and it makes things easier.
