Charge Description Master
This CDM review addresses: compliance with third-party reporting guidelines and Medicare’s APC reporting requirements; operations, data flow and reporting compliance, including medical necessity issues; late charges, charting and order-entry issues; line-item issues, including non-billable supplies/equipment; and educational needs.
