Hi all, I'm just wondering if you guys can share your IE process. We have been trying to streamline our process as we still use a paper assessment form, LSI for telemetry and IE documentation, and also spots in EPIC for further documentation. A lot of this is duplicate information and I'm sure we could find a way to do away with the paper assessment. EPIC and LSI interface with each other but not as well as we would like. We only do 1:1 evals right now, we've tried group in the past though. We also try to exercise the patient during the eval if an MD is present (we do some IEs on phase 3 only days but there is an MD some days seeing patients) so we can bill right away. I'd welcome any input or sharing of your process. Also, are we in CR stuck with only 93798 and 93797 for billing? I'm pretty sure there are no other options like there are in PR, just thought I'd see if any of you have found ways to bill more frequently or to have faster turnover of patients.
