When the rumors first started about updates to E/M coding I mentioned it to the physician I work for. I commented that it sounded great for him due to less repeat work documenting H&P etc. He commented at the time that it was actually going to be worse for him. I didn't understand what he meant. Since then he's been telling our biller that come 2021 he will only be able to see patients for one complaint per office visit. He's a specialist and board certified in 2 specialties and often addresses more than one issue today per office visit.
I don't recall seeing ANYTHING that will limit him being able to address multiple complaints in one office visit. Does anyone know what he's referring to? Thanks!
