Asked a question 2 years ago

When using the same patient account/chart and discharging then readmitting using that same chart our admission date is changing to that next episode start date. How do we change it back to that original SOC date? Our first claim for previous episode on that same patient is creating a claim with the subsequent episode start date

Where am I?
