Signing of Medical Records

Medical Records need to be signed once the services are rendered, the medical record is authenticated when a Provider signs the document.

Payers expect records to be signed within 24 Hrs after services are rendered. In the case of EHR, the records need to be signed electronically.

Medical records that are not signed and records that are signed after a unreasonable delay may not be accepted and could lead to financial and legal implications.
