E/M Codes Analysis
E/M codes play a very important role in the billing process, the E/M codes represents 50% of all services rendered to the patient. To assign these E/M codes you must take certain criteria into consideration, such as place of service, the type of service, and the patient status. There must be documentation to support these codes. These codes are necessary for the ultimate reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid, and also private insurances.
A negative impact for not correctly assigning these codes , would be denial for payment of services rendered . Which in turn will cause the physician and facilities to lose massive amounts of money.
