Specific assessment, progress note, and treatment plan documentation skills and formats will be reviewed. Too often excellent clinicians documentation does not reflect the care given and can put the clinician or program at risk of services not being covered or reimbursed. Clear documentation that supports the charges submitted and the services provided ensure coverage in a managed care environment.
