	This video segment is taken from the HCCS "Fraud Awareness - Professional Compliance" courseware. The issues presented in the full-motion video are upcoding, downcoding, and incomplete documentation. In the expanded version of this scene, we discover that the associate is not documenting her services adequately, and, as a consequence, the practice billing staff is prevented from using higher codes that truly reflect the amount of work she's doing. In effect, she's forcing the billing staff to downcode her services.
