I have heard the the OIG is strongly suggesting how to choose an E/M level. We already know that the AMA / CPT state an established patient only needs 2 out of the 3 components to meet the E/M level. I understand that the OIG is suggesting/weighing more on the MDM component and that they "strongly suggest" that the MDM should be one of the 2 components to declare the E/M level. I want to bring this info to my provider but I know he will want hard fast documentation and I cannot find it on the OIG website. Can anyone provide me with the link to a current document from the OIG about this? Your help is greatly appreciated!
