i think you are doing great

Do you audit the codes that are already chosen by the MD, or start fresh and code from the office note? I work for a Dr's office that has ortho, podiatry, pain mgmt, and just recently a spine surgeon. With the E/M's before ICD10, I would assign the CPT and ICD9 codes to anywhere from 100-120 per day. Now I'm lucky if I get 50 done per day. Depending on the complexity and if I have to task the MD for info, it takes me anywhere from 5-20 min for each one.

I tried my best to prepare for ICD10...seminars, dual coding,practice at home, mapping... but that just wasn't enough. Things are so much harder and more time consuming than before.
