Residents are telling me they're still being taught old billing rules.
Reminder, since Jan 1, 2023:
🔶 HPI has no strict billing requirements. It simply needs to exist
🔶 Same for physical exam
🔶 ROS is no longer required
🔶 PMH, FH, SH are no longer required
Also a reminder:
We want to give a HUGE shoutout to Dr. Alison Smith for receiving the Faculty Award for Outstanding Accomplishments by a Junior Faculty Member! Dr. Smith exemplifies LSU Surgery's commitment to resident education, quality clinical care, and cutting edge research. Congratulations!
