Hi Team,

 

In relation to F2F, one thing that we struggle with is matching skilled need with what the F2F visit was for. An example would be getting a referral for UTI and discovering upon assessment that client has as stage 2 PU which becomes a bigger focus. We have skilled need but we can’t code wound as primary based on F2F encounter. If there was a shift of focus from what was referred to in the first place, how do we match new focus of care to face to face? Will it have to be after the fact at recert? What if we heal the wound before recert?

 

Looking forward to hearing from you!

 

Thanks!
