Start and Stop Times of sessions

It is really (make that really really)  important that everyone use the two little clocks for the start and stop time of sessions when signing your notes. The length of the session is the direct time you spend with the client, client rep, or case manager. It's all about increasing attention by CMS, State of Oregon, Trillium, etc. about FWA (that's Fraud, Waste, and Abuse). When the length of sessions come in at 15, 30, 45, 60 minutes etc., auditors look /see a pattern of possible financial abuse or potential fraud. 


I know fraud isn't happening so don't give someone the opportunity to perceive that something untoward is going on. Use the clocks and put in the time you started and ended the session.
