Failure to document specific infectious agent

Impact

Clinical: May lead to inappropriate treatment, Regulatory: Non-compliance with coding standards, Financial: Potential for denied claims

Mitigation

Ensure lab results are included in documentation, Use specific codes for known infections

Using unspecified codes when specific etiology is known

Impact

Reimbursement: May lead to lower reimbursement rates, Compliance: Non-compliance with coding guidelines, Data Quality: Decreases accuracy of clinical data

Mitigation

Always document and code the specific cause of uveitis if known.

Use of unspecified codes

Impact

High risk of audit if unspecified codes are used without justification.
