Dr. Houseās Surgical Professional Fee Coderā¦
Itās the end of month and so the craziest time of the month is among us!
I love House MD. Itās one of my favorite shows of all time. But as a Professional Fee Surgical Coder, I would have to get paid some serious money to code his and his teamās procedures. Not only is the diagnoses for the patients wacky (and would most likely have āotherā tacked to them and half of them being āpost-procedural complicationsā) the procedures themselves would most likely be unlisted codes that would make Quality Managementās brain explode.
Not to mention, Dr. House never does his notes, clinic time, rounds, operative, most likely post operative. (Actually, heād make someone on the team do the post op visits, who am I kidding) I imagine heād be suspended on a regular basis until he is *needed* so he gets away with not doing his notes far more often than he should.
I canāt imagine being the one reaching out to him as his coder saying āplease provide your op note/office note/roundsāso I can get this billed for youā¦::snort:: I donāt think House has any idea about timely filingā¦ you know that hospital is paying through the nose for him and his teamā¦
Yep. That would be a freaking nightmareā¦
