I am about to begin an E/M audit in our facility. Does anyone have any pointers or useful audit templates they used?

Thank you Brandi! We are also using 1997 guidelines. That would be great if you could email your score sheet.

I like Trailblazer's: http://www.e-medtools.com/Aqua_Medicare_Coding_Worksheet.html
I made my own "score sheet" for providers in Excel that allows me to show what I gave credit for including in the exam (We use 1997 guidelines only, at the moment.) - My spreadsheet's not perfect, but it works... I can email it to you tomorrow, if you want.
Hey Brandi:
Would you mind sending me a copy of the score sheet you created. I'd like to take a peek if you don't mind...

Does anyone know what E&M exam template is used for the CEMC exam. Is it 1995 or 1997 general multisystem exam or must we use both to determine the level. I was told the exam uses only the 1995 template. Does anyone know for sure.
I believe the official exam guidelines instruct you to bring BOTH 1995 and 1997 audit tools/ templates with you. When I took the exam there were a couple of scenarios where you were asked to code based on a specific set of guidelines. In at least one case you had multiple questions on the same note - Q1: code based on 1995 / Q1: code based on 1997.
Good luck

If anyone else would like it, just let me know.
Can anyone tell me if the following is acceptable?
REVIEW OF SYSTEMS: 10 of 14 systems reviewed and are negative except noted above.
"Above" is talking about Cheif Complaint. Going back to my class days I remember that if the doctor didn't document specifically we can't assume what systems he is talking about.
What's your thoughts?
