The Evaluation and Management Physician Office Services Course is part of the Coding Metrix, Inc. Evaluation and Management Curriculum. This course is designed to prepare users to assign evaluation and management (E/M) codes for services provided in the physician office, including new patient visits, established patient visits, and office consultations.
Participants will learn key concepts associated with office E/M services, including new patient versus established patient, encounter time, counseling, etc. They will also learn to identify key medical record documentation that is required to support the various categories and levels of office E/M services. Criteria for distinguishing between consultations and office visits will be discussed in detail.
The mechanics of E/M coding for office services will be reviewed in depth, and users will gain confidence in code assignment through completion of multiple choice exercises and actual case studies (physician reports).
At the completion of the Course, the user will complete a scored assessment that tests the key learning points and confirms comprehension.
