Linda's advise is good.  The situation we have may be different than yours Williamportor.  In our case the charts and documentation are all compliant, it is simply a sheet that the DC uses to relay the info to us.  So the info in the patient's chart shows the correct CPT and notes, but he does a summary sheet of all patient's seen with the internal codes.  His codes are crystal clear and he has a list of his abbreviations.  We've been working for him several years and it's worked great. 

However, what Linda is saying is correct and I should have been more clear in my post.  We are not certified coders and we don't code for our providers.  This (at least to me) is not coding.  But it sounds like my DC is much clearer than yours with his data.

We work with and have worked with DCs for over 25 years.  Some are a nightmare, and some are fine.  The issue is that reimbursement for DCs is so low and insurances make them jump thru hoops (authorization, etc).  We have a couple that are very good with their paperwork, they dot all of their "I's" and cross all their "T's" and are great to work with.  We have had some in the past that were not as good about that.
