Description
After a few Seating and Wheeled Mobility Evaluations, it’s easy to get in a routine of using canned language to justify the equipment for the insurance to approve. Tips are provided by the supplier. Each item as a code and qualifications for those codes. Does this insurance require a certain diagnosis code to qualify for CRT? You have heard, “you must paint the picture of your patient …” Have you ever stepped back to read someone else’s documentation? Have you read your own? This practical webinar will allow you to read real letters of medical necessity and you will get to see things from the reviewer’s perspective and sharpen your documentation skills.
