Good evening!
I am a new coder starting a part time job at a local doctor's office and they only see 2-3 patients/day. They use the new Medicare 1500 form that was just released and I will be filling it out using a type writer.
My question to you is when I asked them if they do E/M coding, they did not seem aware of what that was. If I remember correctly from my coding class, physician offices usually use E/M. So in this case, I was told that perhaps the doctor assigns the level for E/M and all they want me to do is code the diagnosis code. I just want to make sure I do everything as correctly as possible in this new job and wanted to see if anyone has ever encountered this or has any suggestions?
Thank you so much, in advance, for your assistance and advice. It is quite appreciated!
