Advanced E/M Chart Auditing

Overview:

Evaluation and Management coding is notoriously difficult to correctly code, presenting quite a challenge to auditors reviewing E/M services. This workshop will address all of the nuances of auditing E/M services to train you in specific techniques of E/M auditing. We will review deficient E/M records and discuss strategies to educate providers on proper documentation. We will walk through the audit process step-by-step, including the final report and corrective action plan. The workshop will cover key elements of medical chart auditing—from validating history, examination, and decision-making, for both inpatient and outpatient services. Enhance your knowledge and defend your practice by developing the skills necessary to completely and accurately review and validate medical services from a compliance perspective.

Please Note: Workshops include interactive, hands-on exercises. Please bring your core coding books (CPT®, ICD-9-CM, HCPCS Level II).

This Workshop Will Help You:

• Instruct providers on how to improve documentation
• Create an auditing report and/or corrective action plan based on results
• Review documentation for common E/M coding errors
• Apply chart auditing skills while working with multiple case studies
