Teaching Physicians
“No college junior studies organic chemistry and
takes the MCAT planning to devote 4 years to
medical school and 3 plus years to residency and
fellowship just to cheat Medicare and Medicaid.”

About Doctors in General
● Main Goal: Deliver quality care in effective safe manner
● Competitive, OCD, delayed gratification & clinical
● Tend to be detailed overachievers and/or survivors
● Compliance?…may not “get” it
● Think in terms of medical malpractice avoidance
● No prior training about fraud, abuse, & medical malpractice
● Inherently may not trust administrators22

Approaching Physician Education
● ICD Coding is not a new concept
● One size does not fits all programs
● Each organization has unique needs
● One teaching method alone is not enough
● A “check off” approach to physician education does not
work
● You catch more flies with honey that you do with
vinegar…PARTNER WITH YOUR DOCS!
23
WWW.HPIX-INS.COMWWW.HPIX-INS.COM
Things to Consider• Size of practice / orgainzation to be educated
• Physical location of practices
• Method(s) & venue of physician education
• Education is perpetual; not a one shot deal!
• Relevant & necessary topics
▪ Provide education relevant to your physician
▪ OIG Work Plan
▪ Areas of risk that have internally or externally surfaced
• Allowable time - Time is money to physicians
• Budget

25
WWW.HPIX-INS.COMWWW.HPIX-INS.COM
Teaching Principles: An Administrator and
Compliance Officer’s Perspective
● Physicians are taught to assess, diagnose, implement correct
treatment action, and be responsible for outcomes
● Little tolerance for ambiguity
● As scientists, respect facts and data that can be supported by
research
● Understand but often dislike Peer Review
● Dislike being outliers
● Dislike being embarrassed before peers
● Generally want to do the right thing…What is it?26
