Description: Post-payment audits have already begun for 2021 E/M visits in the office and outpatient settings in 2023! The overhaul of E/M guidelines in 2021 and 2023 (and additional changes in 2024) continue to challenge our providers when selecting E/M code levels. Further still, post-payment audits place additional scrutiny on corresponding clinical documentation - it must support the claims billed to payors. This session dives deep into the benefits of taking a proactive approach to compliance, keeping in mind the payor perspective.

This presentation aims to show you pro-tips for effective documentation in the current landscape of E/M coding.
