摘要：

There's nothing more frustrating than not getting credit for work performed. Physicians often leave large amounts of compensation on the table, because even though services were provided, insurance payers do not recognize the work due to suboptimal documentation. This problem is especially apparent in preventive medicine and wellness visits with adult and geriatric patients, and results in physician services being undervalued. This article outlines specific documentation requirements for receiving full credit for the work already provided by most primary care physicians.
