Require diagnosis on Initial Assessment

If the diagnosis is not entered into the "Initals assessment & diagnostic codes" tab, clinicians can still write and sign their notes, however, a barrier/alert populates when we try to bill. This leads to having to remove signatures and sending requests to the clinicians to enter the diagnosis. Can an alert populate that forces a diagnosis to be entered before moving forward with documentation?

    With more than a dozen therapists in this practice, it is redundant and time-consuming to send individual messages to each therapist when a claim is missing diagnostic codes. If I had a report that would break down claims by error, I could more easily communicate these errors to each therapist.

    There is a missing progress note report. Not incredibly helpful when a note is created, but not signed. Claims should not be submitted until the note is complete, including being signed off on. More importantly, there is no report to show when the note does not have a diagnosis code attached to the note. Statements for clients need to be thoroughly reviewed before sending out batch statements. Hundreds of pages are to be checked if the diagnosis column is complete. When a note is created and/or signed off on without the diagnosis codes, there is no way to know without reviewing the statements before sending them out to clients. The diagnosis required for insurance reimbursement, and the diagnosis code should be required when a note is created, signed or not signed. The following things should happen: Require diagnostic impressions before signing off on a note Add report to check if notes are not signed Add report to check if diagnosis codes are entered

    Allow diagnostic codes to be required prior to signing a note AND allow the missing progress note report to detect if a diagnosis code is missing. The missing progress notes report does not account for notes missing diagnosis codes. This is problematic because each statement has to be reviewed thoroughly prior to sending them to clients. If the diagnosis code is missing, the client's service will be denied.

    Require diagnostic impressions prior to signing a note. Diagnosis codes are required to be on a statement/superbill. When a note is signed, it will not show up on the missing progress note report. If a diagnosis is missing, there is more room for error. The statements need to be thoroughly reviewed before they get emailed. If notes could not be signed without a diagnosis code this would save a lot of time and ensure statements have all the necessary claim information.
