Document Less, More Ecourse: Simple Documentation for Rehab

Course overview

Therapists face many challenges in the clinical arena today, with ever increasing caseloads and demands on time during the day. When learning to document in college, therapy students do not have the benefit of clinical experience, and thus do not truly know what they are learning at the time. Once in clinical practice they learn from therapist mentors and employers and piece together an idea of what is needed. There are times when a clinician is baffled that a patient receives a denial from the insurance company for therapy that seems so obviously needed. This course will help therapists to understand what third party payers are looking for and to gain a better understanding of how to present the big picture when documenting. Learn the true purpose of documentation, third-party-payer requirements, how best to communicate with your payers, how to paint a picture with your documentation, next steps after a denial, and how to keep your documentation simple.
