Dokumentation und Kodierung psychoonkologischer Leistungen

For documentation and coding of psychooncological services numerous codes have been established in the recent years. Codes can be differentiated into single codes and complex codes. Single codes represent the services of a single therapist whereas the complex codes define interdisciplinary treatment. Up to now the codes are not recognized in the DRG definitions. In the long term psychooncology has to face an evaluation of its cost effectiveness.
