    APA Style Sheet Abstract

    In this 250- 300 essay/written document, I will be attempting to describe how compliance plans correlate to different medical records, documentation standards. I will then describe or explain in detail how the 10 steps in the medical billing process relate to compliance plans, medical records, and documentation standards. I will then myself have a better understanding and knowledge gained in the process of medical records being documented and what goes on in the billing cycle through the 10 steps of the medical billing process.

    APA Style Sheet Medical Records Documentation and Billing Compliance plans correlate to different standards of medical records and documentation by finding, correcting and preventing illegal medical office practices. When the facility or organization has a compliance plan in place, implemented all policies and practices, provide an

    ongoing staff training for early detection of any problems; they can be pretty much sure that they are not violating any compliance when it refers to medical records or documentation. In steps five, compliance plans are included in reviewing coding compliance to ensure the guidelines are followed when the codes are assigned correctly in the patients medical records. In step six, the checking billing compliance ensures the charge, fee, for the visit is related to a specific code according to the rules of the billing compliance Compliance plans correlate with medical records by making sure the correct diagnose, and patients care is outlined in their medical records as described in steps four of the medical billing process Medical records are a patient legal document that contain very important health information. It must be accurate and kept up to date by all physicians and the employees of the facilities involved in the patients privacy to lessen lawsuits and provide a better service for their patients. Compliance plans correlate to documentation standards by outlining the ten steps in the medical billing process. Each one of these steps correlates or has some significance to compliance plans in billing and reviewing compliances, monitoring the payer adjudications, even to the follow- up of the patients payments and handling collections. These three steps of compliance plans, medical records, documentation standards helps all medical facilities to again like I mentioned early on in one other statements; to correct, find, and prevent any complicated problems and issues to avoid their facility from any risks or causes of liability suits.
