Have your clinicians aced the '95 and '97 guidelines yet? See why that's no longer enough.
Coders & practice managers: We feel your pain. When it comes to evaluation & management documentation, do you feel like you and the doctors in your practice are rarely on the same page? And physicians: Are you worried your documentation isn't doing what it needs to do to catch a ride on the reimbursement train? Clinician education on E/M documentation is crucial to collecting every dollar you deserve, shining in audits and heading off compliance risks. But another coding training session just might make your eyes glaze over, right?
Wrong. Join nationally-recognized physician educator Suzan Berman-Hvizdash, CPC, CPC-E/M, CPC-EDS, for a 1-hour E/M documentation refresher that clinicians will certainly keep with them. Suzan's taught over 200 physicians at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and around the country. Plus, she has a proven track record with physicians complying to the E/M documentation guidelines. With plain English, handy tools and a healthy dose of humor, Suzan will teach the E/M documentation essentials every clinician needs. Bonus: E/M documentation essentials for all the clinical staff you can stuff into a conference room -- for one low price.
Here's a sample of what you'll learn from Suzan:
- The 5 D's -- and how they help even the most clueless clinician select the correct E/M level just about any time.
- 11 mistakes most clinicians make with E/M medical necessity -- and why they're setting your practice up for audits.
- MDM must-haves: Knowing what you can't include is just as important as knowing what you can.
- Consultation questions answered, once and for all.
- Samples of bad E/M notes -- and Suzan's advice on how to fix mistakes like these fast.
- Common ROS goof that'll keep the E/M at level 3 -- even when it should be higher.
