Medicare Compliance Check
Be advised that Medicare audits can be failed if the bill code description does not match the bill code listed! Whether you’re using a mental health EMR (electronic medical records) system or not, be sure to match your bill code description to the code itself: you can be dinged if they are different! Don’t forget that bill codes are also affected by the January 1st, 2013 change in CPT codes for mental & behavioral health.
