Medical Reviewer Job Description

Medical reviewers work in hospitals, physician offices, nursing homes, and independent auditing firms. They review or audit medical records for completeness and accuracy by looking at various pieces of documentation. Incorrect or missing documentation can result in loss of hospital accreditation, a physician’s license, or Medicare status. The facility will also lose reimbursement from an insurance company, Medicare, or Medicaid. Too many mistakes in documentation can result in a facility closing.

Medical reviewers often coordinate in-service meetings to educate the medical staff on proper documenting procedures. They also keep abreast of new coding, government, and insurance guidelines.

Job Duties

Medical reviewers look at each individual medical record to check for missing documentation; they also check for physician’s notes that show any evidence of patient neglect or abuse and verify that the correct member of staff has signed all paperwork. When the reviewer finds a problem with the record, a citation is issued to the medical staff member. The member is given a set time period to fix the mistake. A follow-up conducted by the reviewer is done to ensure the record is up to compliance.
