Major issue is different observation codes for patients discharged from the hsopital on the same day versus the next day.
Medicos major use 2008 has been for the many women who are sent or self refer to the hospital for false labor. If the physician signed the chart and accepted the medicolegal responisility for the caree of that patient, that physician is entitled to bill an observatioin code and a service for intepreting the fetal monitor strip.
Research study--Hypothesis--For every 100 deliveries, there are ten of these observation admissions which go unbilled. How much money is that, and would you like to have it in support of your mission?
Alternative hyspothesis--Every week Medicos has at least two of these patients or 100 a year. this is a common but predictable source of underperfromance andlost revenue.
With best wishes for your professional success.
