Some doctors were already using standard PE/ROS for their reports, but these cloned reports were created by that doctor. Maybe 10%, probably less, doctors have created a standard report which they usually request with a couple changes. The point-and-click templates come prewritten, and I doubt many doctors have actually read and/or committed the text to memory. I have done reports where the doctor calls in his PE standard, and some of the text, which the doctor should have redictated but didn't, contradicted what was in the HPI. I am sure the content of the template is automatically connected to the codes.

Basically, the doc I work for is very ethical and is not committing the fraud. It's me. The business is owned by a different doctor who makes the doc I work for perform certain tests. However, the doc I work for refuses to circle the appropriate ICD codes on the superbill that will pay for the CPTs which, of course, is the ...
