RE: Our need for record keeping.
At this point in time all the doctors I have seen are on Epic/My Chart. All my med's and supplements are in the Epic/MyChart. What I have done is keep a CD of all the CScan I have had for my BE to have for the doctor, if needed.
I am on Medicare with Supplement (G Plan) so after my deductible, so far, I have not had to pay attention to what is or is not being paid.
What I have had to do is bring to the attention of the doctor information that may have not been documented/shown correctly on the after summary visit.
From my experience it appears keeping records will be most important if a patient is seeing a doctor who is not in or using Epic/MyChart. The record keeping appears, in many cases and instances, is more for ourselves more than for the doctors who generally do not look so much at all previous information just what is most recent. The tech's review all the information in the system with me to see if there are any changes, to reconfirm all before the doctor comes in.

How do you do all that record keeping, storing of information, on top of all we have to do for ourselves (Therapy 2x a day) and all else needing to be done in the day, week, month!
I must not be seeing clearly the need for all the record keeping? Help.
