E/M Coding and Documentation Guidelines: Putting It All Together

Evaluation and management (E/M) services are vulnerable to fraud and abuse, scrutiny from the OIG, government-contracted, and third-party auditors. Providers must accurately determine the appropriate complexity level of an E/M service, corresponding to the amount of skill, effort, time, responsibility, and medical knowledge required for the healthcare provider to deliver the service to the patient. AMA & CMS guidelines for E/M code selection, and various policies, coverage determinations and requirements must be considered for each major payor.

Learn all the E/M coding rules and documentation guidelines, including the major changes for 2021. Master the process of accurately determining the appropriate E/M code level for services provided, and improve your understanding of the criteria utilized in making the determination. Learn the new vs. established patient guidelines distinctions, and coding E/M services based on time vs Medical Decision Making (MDM).

Highlights:

Review essential coding guidelines for E/M services to ensure proper claims submission
Understand the role of history and exam per guideline
Medical Necessity and Nature of the Presenting Problem
Total time for 99202 - 99215; what is included and excluded?
Revised reporting rules for prolonged services in 2021
Receive coding tips and strategies for successful documentation and claims submissions
