When it is dictated that the patient had knee surgery, (a couple of other procedures), then says rotator cuff and patella surgery... would that be considered a repeat of the knee surgery?
How am I supposed to know if when he dictated this, he was referring to the same surgery or not?
I blanked it and got an error on a post audit.
If I had repeated a DX in the list, I would have been marked off for that---cannot win either way.
