1. Getting the Lay of the Land
External scrutiny of home health documentation is not new, but it does take many forms. Clinicians need to know who is looking at what and, ultimately, why, in order to approach requirements in an intentional way. This chapter will outline the current and future trends and risk areas seen with external audits.
2. Critical Definitions
Many denials are tied back to documentation not supporting “skilled," "reasonable," and "necessary,” but hearing those terms over and over can make clinicians numb to what actual expectations are. This chapter will reframe these terms to establish the correct context for defensibility.
3. Coverage and Qualifying Criteria
Defensible documentation requires the clinician to speak to both coverage and qualifying criteria specific to the setting in which the clinician works. This chapter will compare and contrast both areas and provide strategies for compliance.
