When the hours don’t add up, what should compliance look for?

With time-based E/M coding making physician work hours more visible, “impossible days” are becoming an increasingly important Medicare compliance risk. But an unusually long day doesn’t necessarily mean improper billing—and documentation alone may not provide the answer.

In this article from Report on Medicare Compliance, experts explore how organizations can identify and investigate potentially impossible days using billing data, documentation reviews, interviews, time studies, EMR activity, and other clues.

The article also examines how AI-generated documentation and productivity pressures can add to the risk.
