Choosing and then utilizing the wrong E/M guidelines for your ED
Jul 21, 08
The 6th common mistake for revenue capture is relying solely on your EMR to capture the appropriate E/M Level.
Its output will only be as accurate as the accuracy of its initial set-up. One question to ask, does it the EMR utilize 1995 or 1997 E/M guidelines? CMS has granted an indefinite grace period that allows physicians to use either the 1995 or the 1997 versions of the guidelines.
