@wayfaringmd replied to your post “Today in clinic I saw 0 patients, did 3 prior authorizations, and...”
Also obesity covers some screening things - screening lipids and A1Cs usually. And @irazuexperiment I do my own PAs too (though my partners don’t). I don’t have as many as they do though because you learn what will get covered and what won’t and you learn what will get a PA approved. It’s a good exercise, though in practice it does take up valuable time I don’t really have.
Yep learned that (and used it today when ordering labs).
My big gripe was that I was doing prior auths and hunting down acceptable ICD-10 codes for other residents’ patients, because that’s how our program does it (and I had twice as many to do because the resident assigned to the task the day before just...didn’t do any of them), and it was very frustrating since all of these things could’ve been avoided in the first place.
But hey, I’m learning. And telling the interns what I’ve learned so they’ll stop creating this work for me to do haha.
