This essential guide was created for physicians and educators seeking proper reimbursement for the medical care of patients with diabetes. Endocrinologist Jerome S. Fischer, MD, expertly presents the often-complicated documentation decision pathways and explores such effective documentation methods as paper templates, electronic guides, and counter systems. Best of all, this information is provided with a diabetes-care orientation using the ADA's Standards of Medical Care for Patients with Diabetes Mellitus as the framework for assigning levels of service. Plus, this resource covers:
- Clinical definitions of history, physical exam, and medical decision-making levels with a diabetes orientation
- Decision pathway documentation for new patients, the chronic but stable, chronic but unstable, and chronic with acute problems
- Diabetes education, insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitoring sensors, and more
