KRISTEN,
 DO YOU HAVE A LINK ABOUT THIS FROM MEDICARE??

Regina, here are several links:

https://www.cms.gov/Outreach-and-Education/Medicare-Learning-Network-MLN/MLNProducts/downloads/Signature_Requirements_Fact_Sheet_ICN905364.pdf

https://www.aapc.com/blog/23844-medical-record-entry-timeliness-what-is-reasonable/

The first one mentions the note being signed allowing for a short delay in the transcription process, the second one clarifies what Medicare considers to be a short delay (24-48 hours)

Thanks so much, Kristin.

PMRNC:
Sometimes I have to revisit the file for something like an appeal. I DO look at the office notes, date of service and billed date I have. IF it's something I need to send notes for I MIGHT tell a provider who was late with his notes, that he screwed up my appeal  :o  Normally I don't have a problem as my clients are PRETTY good with getting their notes and signing them before I bill them out. If it's something also I know the carrier might question, I'll hold the billing to ask the provider if his documentation is in order.
