17 E&M-Medical Decision Making Number of Diagnoses Chronic problem Stable or worsening New Problem w/o additional workup New Problem w/ additional workup Data Labs/X-rays/Old Records Risk/Complexity Chronic problem w/ mild exacerbation, Rx Drug Management
18 MDM Example Patient is seen in the office for: Hypertension, stable, continue on Lisinopril 10mg Stable, diet controlled DM2 (HGBa1c 6.2)
19 E&M New Patient ( ) Level 1 - Problem focused/pf/straight Fwd Level 2 - EPF/EPF/SF Level 3 - Detailed/Detailed/Low Level 4 - Comp/Comp/Moderate Level 5 - Comp/Comp/High **Lowest History/Exam/MDM determines the code
20 E&M Established ( ) Level 1 - No MD Presence Required Level 2 - Problem focused/problem focused/straight forward Level 3 - EPF/EPF/Low Level 4 - Detailed/Detailed/Moderate Level 5 - Comp/Comp/High ** MDM should dominate code selection
21 Time Based Billing-Office ( ) Must Include: Total time spent face-to-face with patient Greater than 50% of time was spent on counseling/coordination of care Content of counseling/coordination of care
22 Time Based Billing Office New Patients minutes minutes minutes minutes minutes Established Patients minutes (not MD) minutes minutes minutes minutes 22
23 Example of Time Based Visit CC: follow-up dyslipidemia Interval history: The patient is here to ask why he needs to stay on statin medication for cholesterol. Most recent LDL was 131 Exam: BP 144/90 Assessment - Dyslipidemia 1) Borderline hypertension 2) Plan Continue statin therapy 3) Recheck blood pressure at next visit A total of 15 minutes were spent face-to-face with the patient during this encounter and over half of that time was spent on counseling and coordination of care. We discussed in depth the importance of primary prevention of coronary disease with aggressive treatment of high cholesterol. I also educated the patient about lifestyle modifications which may improve blood pressure. 23
24 Other Billing, Coding, and Documentation Concerns
25 Documentation & Authentication Medical records must be complete and legible Should include: a. Reason for encounter, findings and test results b. Assessment/diagnosis c. Plan of care d. Date and legible signature Signature method used shall be a handwritten or electronic signature. Stamped signatures are not acceptable. Addendum rules
26 Other Errors Use of templates Cloning/copying previous note Medication units incorrect or no documentation to support charge Wrong supplies code Missed/incorrect or no documentation to support x-ray Missed charge or no documentation to support procedure Missed ultrasound guidance
27 Bottom Line Understand how the EHR calculates HPI & exam Check templates for accuracy Consult with a coding expert Audits are a reality 27
