title: Blanks on medical records may give payers denial ammo.
abstract: Incomplete and inaccurate patient records have always left hospitals vulnerable to losing malpractice suits. But increasingly, good records mean hospitals are more likely to collect on bills that are scrutinized by utilization review firms, Medicare peer review organizations and other such bill examiners. That places a higher premium than ever on paying meticulous attention to a patient's medical record.
