Can anyone give me some guidance on provider-based coding? I can't find anything up to date and it's very confusing to me.
So, they are telling me that we send the level with every encounter, no matter the insurance. Then it says "we did medicare and Medicaids as provider based". Now I'm confused if all of them have levels what is the difference for medicare and medicaids?That's a broad topic. Can you narrow it down to what specifically you need help with?
They are calling it a score level. The doctor completes a questionnaire and however many points there is a level it goes with.Are you speaking of "E/M levels"?
Sounds like the clinic is trying to come up with a way to determine E/M levels with the new 2021 guidelines. This is something that is specific to your clinic it seems.They are calling it a score level. The doctor completes a questionnaire and however many points there is a level it goes with.
