RE: [EXTERNAL] RE: agree/disagree metric
We also have a standard series of responses which was defined by the VHA CDI Council but it’s more in term of query impact vs. an agree vs disagree.
DRG changed
MCC captured
CC captured
Additional diagnosis documented
More specific diagnosis documented
More precise CPT
Response – No change
VERA (this is a unique VA impact so don’t worry about it too much)
Other
Response – No documentation
No response
I also will ask providers periodically if they feel if I am querying them appropriately or not. So far I’ve had no negative responses in the past six years to that question.
