Medical Review of E/M Documentation Provided by Student

6.8.1 – Medical Review of E/M Documentation Provided by Student (Rev.808; Issued: 07-13-18; Effective: 08-14-18; Implementation: 08-14-18) The Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 12, Section 100.1.1 (B) states the teaching physician must personally perform (or re-perform) the physical exam and medical decision making activities of the E/M service being billed, but may verify any student documentation of them in the medical record rather than re-documenting this work. If the teaching physician chooses to rely on the medical student documentation and chooses not to re-document the E/M service, contractors shall consider this requirement met if the teaching physician signs and dates the medical student’s entry in the medical record.
