Titulo: WAIVERS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF DOCUMENTATION
As you know, CMS has relaxed regulatory requirement for many service lines. CMS has acted on congressional and executive authority through “Waivers”. For example, a myriad of remote patient care initiatives bundled under Telemedicine. At Loinaz Martin, PSC we want your teams to carefully read these waivers, which may also extend to HIPAA. BUT, be mindful that CMS is not waiving DOCUMENTATION requirements. We cannot stress enough the importance of documenting each encounter with patients even though a waiver for a service has been issued. For your benefit and your teams, please refer to this video published today by CMS… Provider Minute Video: The Importance of Proper Documentation. Thank you.
