Product Description

Don't let the lack of defined parameters in the 1995 CMS Guidelines confuse your Level of Examination.

Is it a body area? Is it an organ system? Does it matter? While the 1997 CMS Evaluation and Management Guidelines may be clear cut – you use the 1995 guidelines. And sometimes, determining the level of E/M examination can be a bit tricky because of the lack of clear-cut guidelines. That's where Colleen Wade, CPC, CPC-H, CEMC, CPC-I, PCS can help you. During this 1-hour audio event Colleen will break down the "4x4" rule for you. The 4x4 rule not only is a defined measure for E/M documentation, it can also help to clarify a Detailed Examination.

This E/M coding session covers:

  • Zoom in on the nuts and bolts of a Detailed Examination according to the 1995 E/M Guidelines AND a Detailed Examination means according to the 1997 E/M Guidelines
  • Hear first hand analysis of the "4x4" rule:
    • A consistent method to determine when documentation supports a Detailed examination.
    • A clear cut method to ensure Detailed Examination levels are accurate.

  • Some carriers require the "4x4" method when determining a detailed level of examination – does yours?
  • Plus: Discussion on challenges in capturing an undefined detailed examination in your EMR and how the “4X4” rule can help.
