Description: Appropriate accountability of current conditions in preventive visits ensures compliance with documentation guidelines by accurately inventorying a patient's health status during routine check-ups. Compliance professionals must ensure that all existing conditions are noted and managed according to established guidelines. Victoria Moll will lead us through a discussion to define how this involves reviewing patient history, performing necessary evaluations, and updating medical records. By ensuring compliance through appropriate documentation of current conditions, compliance professionals help mitigate risks of payer audits, penalties, and potential legal issues while also promoting better patient outcomes. Learning Objectives: Accurate Documentation Practices: Develop skills for auditing existing conditions in patient records, ensuring completeness and adherence to regulatory standards. Integration of Patient History: Learn how to effectively integrate patient history with current assessments in auditing to provide a holistic view of the patient's health status. Compliance with Coding Guidelines: Gain knowledge of the appropriate coding practices for documenting current conditions in preventive visits to ensure compliance and proper reimbursement.
