Communicating when providers are out of the office and who is covering - how is this going?
New clinic/pod issues to discuss
All clinics -
PHQ-9 - providers can drop the code for this - 96127. Need to document that PHQ was performed, reviewed and addressed (dot phrase). Previously MA's were dropping this charge but they will no longer be doing that. A diagnosis on the problem list for doing the PHQ ensures reimbursement.
Diabetic Educator Referrals - We only have one diabetic educator currently (Sue!). Please only place a Referral Order for patients with diabetes. If issues are weight loss/nutrition/dietary issues/prediabetes these should not be referral orders, they should be an inbasket message to the Integrated Care Team.
No Monday night diabetes support groups happening right now
Integrative Medicine Referrals - Tuesday mornings with Dr Pearson at 144th, MA's schedule this, do not send a separate order to referrals
Prior Auth - For Viagra and other ED meds, please just print prescriptions for patients. When rx sent to pharmacy, MA's need to do time-consuming prior auths, these meds will always be denied. GoodRx and generic sildenafil are other options. Can discuss any other ways to reduce work for prior auths.
Nebulizers - Reminder that nebulizers are available in clinics to dispense directly to patients (though not covered by Medicare). Otherwise can give paper script to take to med supply company or order with DME form. MA's can instruct patients in use.
84th Clinic-
Update on Dr. Martin's patients on controlled substances
Follow our clinic guidelines
Patients on list all got a letter letting them know this
Pain Management Rounds (Ryan Flint) available for advice on individual patients as well
New Patients from Senior Health - Call Center can do their best to give a 40 minute slot for 1st visit but may still do 20 minutes for more urgent issues (want to keep access as well)
Other issues?
144th Clinic,Thornton Clinic -
Any other recent clinic issues or challenging situations to discuss?
