Wiki E&M Coding Help for CPC

[Jenniflower30]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had any helpful tips/suggestions. I am having a hard time making evaluation and management coding make sense. I am once again studying for the CPC test. I have roughly a month left. I want to no it really good. But the best i have figured out seems to be if the patient is established or new. I have the practice exams, and as i am taking them i am choosing a code of lower levels. In the CPT book there are evaluation and management tables that just make no sense to me. I am totally confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just dont see how i am going to pass unless i memorize how many ROS, HPI, etc have been met. How do i make it make sense?

Hi,

I can help you learn the E&M coding and prepare you for the exam, which I had done in the past and doing the same currently with another set of coders.
