Report Requirements

(A) General Report. A general written report or a discharge summary must accompany the podiatrist's claim for payment when the service is designated "I.C." in Subchapter 6 of the Podiatrist Manual or when a service code for an unlisted procedure is used. This report must be sufficiently detailed to enable professional advisors to assess the extent and nature of the services. (B) Operative Report. For surgery procedures designated "I.C." in Subchapter 6 of the Podiatrist Manual, operative notes must accompany the podiatrist's claim. An operative report must state the operation performed, the name of the member, the date of the operation, the preoperative diagnosis, the postoperative diagnosis, the names of the podiatrist and his or her assistants, and the technical procedures performed.
