Overview:

It’s essential to understand what is in E/M guidelines, and more importantly, what is NOT. The information in this webinar will help you to defend decisions relative to the appropriate level of E/M code selection and to defend you against inappropriate down-coding.

You Will Learn:

  • Areas in E/M guidelines that require subjective analysis, leading to disputes regarding E/M code levels
  • Common approaches to E/M analysis that require you to use tools external to the guidelines and their implications when reporting audit results
  • How to identify errors and to apply the express provisions of the guidelines to effectively challenge inappropriate down-coding of E/M services
