Understand the elements on the AMA medical decision making grid.

 

For the first time in more than two decades, there are huge changes to assigning levels of evaluation and management (E/M) services for CY (Calendar Year) 2023. The elimination of basing E/M levels on key components (history, exam, and MDM (Medical Decision Making)) ushers in a new model of coding, documentation, and unique challenges.

 

The Evaluation & Management Boot Camp—Professional Version teaches coders, billers, auditors, and practice managers how to interpret documentation relative to national carrier guidelines, apply guidelines accurately, and ensure appropriate E/M category and level assignment.
