Reimbursement: May lead to claim denials, Compliance: Increases audit risk, Data Quality: Affects accuracy of patient records

Mitigation

Ensure TSH and free T4 levels are documented.

Use of unspecified codes

Impact

High audit risk when using unspecified codes without supporting documentation.

Mitigation
