Hello everyone,
I was curious how other coders were handling risk with the new 2021 guidelines. The minimal and low categories no longer have examples, and the guidelines state that the risk levels do not need to be defined, as providers will know based on their training whether risk is minimal, low, moderate, or high. The speaker at a presentation I attended suggested that providers would need to tell us risk levels.
Is this anyone's plan? Or is everyone going to determine risk the same way they always did? Thanks for any feedback!
