Uncaptured Billable Services: Recognizing Additional Revenue Streams in Plastic Surgery Programs.

Of 1796 patient encounters identified, 81.2% (n = 1463) were completed by a PS resident. The remainder were either not seen in person (e.g., telephone encounter) or seen with PRS attending; these were not included in this analysis. All encounters were indirectly supervised as defined by the ACGME and PS Residency Review Committees. The E&M codes from these encounters generated 5,231.3 wRVUs. 40.3% of the encounters had at least one procedure, generating 3,622.4 wRVUs from 1445 CPTs. The total billable charges from these claim submissions totaled $317,382.10.
