Wiki E/M Utilization Benchmark Tool

[astuart@pmsia.com]

Does anyone have an updated E/M Utilization Benchmark Tool? For years we have given our physicians feedback comparing them to national averages per E/M levels but I feel like the AAPCs tool for this may no longer be accurate as the national averages posted have not changed at all in the last few years even with the change in E/M coding guidelines. Any new resources would be helpful. Thanks!

Depending on the specialty, sometimes the specialty societies have tools in coding or practice management areas.

I feel like I have seen them on MAC sites in the past but I could be wrong.

Products that use Medicare data will (or should) have data that is current to 2022. Medicare data for 2023 will be available at the end of this year.

Would anyone have any resources/recommendations for benchmarks for pediatric specialists??
