Questioning the clinical validity of medical documentation

by Trey La Charité, MD
I realized, painfully, early in my career as a physician advisor for CDI that I needed to learn a lot more about coding and the process of translating physicians’ written words into ICD codes. I also needed a more secure footing to successfully appeal the ever-increasing volume of denials my facility faces. So, I decided to go back to school.
