Common E/M Service <strong>Documentation</strong> Errors<br />
– Cloning or Excessive <strong>Documentation</strong><br />
• The copy <strong>and</strong> paste, or “cloning,” of the<br />
medical records is on the OIG Work Plan for<br />
2012<br />
Cloning of documentation will be considered<br />
misrepresentation of the medical necessity<br />
requirement for coverage of services.<br />
Cloning also occurs when medical documentation<br />
is exactly the same from beneficiary to<br />
beneficiary or from visit to visit.<br />
