Description
Physicians at Teaching Hospitals (PATH) supervision and documentation requirements changed significantly in 2022. Failure to ensure clinical documentation is up to par can be extremely costly for hospitals. PATH regulations for resident-performed services are enormously complex. Today’s webinar will drill down into the 2022 PATH coding and reporting updates extensively, discuss general PATH documentation requirements, review 2022 E/M leveling methodology changes, highlight the key differences between the CMS supervision guidelines and ACGME supervision guidelines, and provide you with tangible PATH-specific information that can be put into action immediately.

Areas Covered
Background
Regulations that apply to Physicians at Teaching Hospitals (PATH) are convoluted and difficult to navigate. Teaching hospitals receive federal funds to train residents in their journey to becoming practicing physicians. PATH regulations and documentation requirements are complex.
Why Should You Attend
PATH services are high audit targets for auditors because of the additional government funds hospitals receive. When you submit claims as a teaching physician, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) expects you to follow all of their rules. Comprehensive clinical documentation is critical for getting paid for the services that residents provide.
