We’ve been dealing with a rash of outpatient orders that are dates from 18+ months ago.
(For example: Signed by Doctor on 9/01/2016 for a lab order)
We’re being told to just code them but I’m positive I saw / learned that they can’t
be that old. Does anyone have a guideline or coding clinic on this?
