Obesity or Malnutrition: Document It Every Time It’s There

from Healthcare Musings · host Hesham A. Hassaballa, MD, FCCP

Both obesity and protein calorie malnutrition are major comorbid conditions (MCC), and they are frequent targets of post-discharge denials by payers. In this episode of Healthcare Musings, Dr. Hassaballa explains why it is so important that these diagnoses are not only documented, but why our plan to address these conditions must always be documented.
