Training
As mandated by the UT Southwestern Medical Center Billing Compliance Plan all new faculty and other health care providers must complete a minimum of two hours of billing compliance training within the first 90 days of their employment. To comply with this policy we have developed an Internal Medicine Billing Compliance Workbook. Links to the current compliance materials are available on the Internal Medicine Intranet home page. For more information please contact your Division Administrator or the Revenue Cycle office (contacts below). Other Billing Compliance questions can be directed to your Division Compliance Officer or the Department's Compliance Officer.
Annual and Department Chart Audits
As mandated by the Universities Billing Compliance Plan, the Billing Compliance Office (BCO) conducts chart reviews of the clinical departments Medicare, Medicaid and other billings. Clinical departments are required by UT Southwestern to conduct quarterly self-reviews of medical record documentation, as well as the CPT (procedure) and ICD-9 (diagnosis) codes assigned to services provided to Medicare, Medicaid or other patients.
