Audit Findings in the New Age of the 2021 E/M Guidelines

Workshop Description:

2021 brought many big changes to the healthcare auditing field. Auditors have had to sharpen their skills between the COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth, and the new E/M office visit guidelines. AAPC Services compiled the results of thousands of audits from pre- and post-2021, and the results are interesting. These changes will also affect 2022 and beyond audits and processes. We’ll take a look at the findings from our research as well as talk about what the future may hold.

• The effect of the 2021 changes to telehealth
• What changes you may need to make for 2022
