Evaluation and Management (E/M) services make up a large portion of services and revenue for providers billing professional services. E/M is the means in which providers get paid for visits in all settings of medical services. There are different types of visits and different ways of documenting these services based on CPT® and CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) guidelines. The history, examination, and medical decision making are the components in which most visits are chosen, and the different levels of service are assigned by what elements are documented for the visit. There are also visits that can be or are determined by time.
Anyone who is choosing levels of evaluation and management services (E/M) for office, outpatient, and inpatient visits and is responsible for making sure that the documentation substantiates the level of service chosen, as well as the medical necessity, is considered.
This webinar would also benefit those that are currently auditing or thinking about becoming an auditor. Many auditors spend a good deal of their time applying E/M guidelines to visits to determine the accuracy of coding and educate providers on these guidelines and their documentation.
