Description
“I love paperwork!”.
–Said NO clinician, EVER
Yet, the success of your practice depends on your ability to write good intake summaries, treatment plans, session notes, case/collateral notes, and discharge summaries. Taken together, these pieces to the documentation puzzle support your goal of providing quality services to your clients. They also impact the stability and success of your practice. When done well, they result in piece of mind and timely payment from insurance companies. When done poorly, they lead to the misery of denials, audits, and lost income.
The great news is that you CAN become proficient at mental health documentation and medical necessity. This seminar provides clear and simple guidelines for recordkeeping that adheres to professional standards and ethical codes, supports delivery of quality care, and reduces errors and delays in payments.
You will receive expert instruction from Beth Rontal, LICSW, affectionally known as the Documentation Wizard. For over 15 years, Beth has been instrumental at changing how individuals and organizations approach documentation. The results speak for themselves. Rates at which paperwork was returned to clinicians for correction have dropped significantly, in one case from 65% to under 8%. This gave clinicians back 3 to 5 clinical hours per week, saving thousands of dollars and improving job satisfaction.
