How to Create Effortlessly Compliant Progress Notes: Your Blueprint for Stress-Free Documentation

CE Hours 1.5

About this course

For so many therapists, progress notes remain an area of dread, uncertainty, shame, anxiety, and extra work. I promise it doesn’t have to be so tedious and stressful. I spent my former agency career as a Director of Quality Improvement ensuring compliance against OMIG, OMH, DOH, and OPWDD audits. In private practice, I have survived being subpoenaed (for the record it was NOT fun) and successfully passed numerous audits from both government and commercial insurance plans. Allow me to show you a quick and efficient insurance-company-compliant formula for writing your progress notes in a safe and judgment-free space. You will walk away with new skills that build your confidence and ensure you conduct business as an ethical, and professional therapist. Detailed Bonus Handout included with sample notes and additional ideas for interventions and homework assignments.
