Anesthesia Concurrency Audit Log Report
The Anesthesia Concurrency Audit Log report displays the anesthesia charges with associated modifiers and dollar values that populate the claims for both Rendering and MDA providers. It determines and displays the concurrency values and provides a record for use in billing audits. You can use this report to identify encounters that are medically directed and personally performed.
It details the encounters that have passed or failed the Anesthesia Concurrency Audit process. If one charge line on the encounter fails, the entire encounter fails the audit. The report compares all encounters that are run through the audit to all other concurrent encounters regardless of the encounter status. It runs on any encounter that has at least one anesthesia charge.
About Committing the Report
The best practice is to run the audit report after all charges are entered for encounters with a bill status of in-progress and a given date of service. The report identifies service overlaps and assigns concurrency modifiers.
Before you commit the Anesthesia Concurrency Audit report for your daily encounters, make sure that all encounters are either green (pass) or blue (caution). If an encounter is red (failed), the best practice, is to modify the encounter to a status of green (pass) or blue (caution). Then commit the encounters.
