Director's note: What's in it for the physician? A lot

The bane of many CDI specialists’ existence is trying to get physicians to buy into good documentation practices. But a recent notice issued by TrailBlazer Health Enterprises, LLC, put in about as plain words I’ve seen that contractors are now going to be comparing Part A (hospital) with Part B (physician) claims and looking for any discrepancies between the two.
