Spot and stop E/M undercoding mistakes to collect the full revenue your practice deserves

In its latest report on E/M coding, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) found practices undercoded more than a third of claims (36%), meaning the doctor missed out on money he/she was due for the visit. Lack of coding education and the fear of an audit feed into the undercoding problem. And with so many facets to E/M, not to mention ambiguous guidelines and varying payer rules, a thorough understanding of E/M coding and documenting is critical to avoid costly mistakes.
