This is where I wanna go through and I wanna benchmark the different E/M bell curve categories, okay?

So this is using CMS claims data that's two years old. CMS is always two years behind releasing their claims data. So how I would use this tool, and this is only created for new and established patient codes. I'm gonna pick my specialty, so let's say cardiology, okay, and I'm gonna put in, in a twelve month period, I'm gonna put in the number of 99201, 99202, 99203, 99204, and 99205 that I perform.

Now, in 2021, we were not using 99201. That code was deleted. So I'm gonna put in the number that I've done of all of the others. No, that's not realistic.Say five fifty, and then I did one twenty of those. I'm gonna put in all my numbers, and then it's gonna create a graph for me, letting me see what I actually did compared to what was with Medicare.

So it gives me my analysis between what I actually did and what Medicare, what the Medicare numbers were. So you can see here, under the Medicare National data for cardiologists is showing a much higher utilization of 99214 than what we have at our particular practice.
