Educating Physicians Without Scolding

You receive a payer inquiry questioning level 4 services… so you open the note and see:

“Patient here for follow-up. Doing well.”

That’s it.

Now you’re stuck defending a level of service that the documentation doesn’t support.

In this episode of the CodeCast podcast, Terry breaks down a common challenge in healthcare organizations—how to educate providers on documentation without defaulting to scolding or generic feedback that doesn’t stick.

Using real-world examples, Terry explains how to shift the conversation from criticism to clarity—helping providers understand how to document the patient story, support medical necessity, and protect reimbursement.

If your current education approach isn’t changing behavior—or your providers keep defaulting to template-style notes—this episode will give you practical, effective talking points that actually make a difference.
