Retro Clarification Queries

I am looking for input on policy and practice related to:  Creating a Retro Query for Clarification only (ie Path Report, POA, etc).   In your organization is Coding or CDI primarily responsible for creating these queries.  I do understand it can be both, but trying to get a pulse on the majority of the practical practice nationally.  Thanks

  • If it's post discharge, it is Coding's responsibility.
  • CDI sends 100% of the queries. 


  • Because we the CDI specialists have a good rapport with our physicians, the coders communicate their needs to us and we approach the docs for retro queries. 
  • CDI sends all queries.

  • Thank you to all who have responded to my inquiry.  I am hoping to get many more responses!  Pam
