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.

Also, we break out Medicare & Medicaid eobs into different folders, since those are the ones we go back for most often. If we have a 'difficult' case, we may have a folder for a specific patient. But overall, not feasible for the size.Michele70 providers........slide me about 5 of them :-)

Forgive me if I gasp! Why would you be responsible for keeping treatment notes? Those should be in the patient's treatment file at the Dr.s office! If the insurance company requests notes, the doctor should copy and send them, or a copy service should come and copy them. They wouldn't send the copy service to the billing service to copy records!Dina
I'm sorry but you are all incorrect. ANYTHING you receive to generate ANY claim is considered a source file. An Audit if done would need to have everything used for any claim. IF your provider sends treatment notes that are being used to code/submit a claim.. that is a SOURCE document.
