MASTER Evaluation and Management Coding
Once and for all!
If you struggle with E/M coding,
YOU need MPECS!
Have you ever wondered why there is so much confusion about what codes should be used for office, hospital or other patient encounters? Selection of Evaluation and Management codes for patient encounters often poses a challenge for healthcare providers. The busier your practice, the more likely you are to take short cuts and as a result, short change yourself and your practice financially. Do you feel fully confident in your code selection after you have seen a patient?
This workshop, EVALUATION and MANAGEMENT CODING ESSENTIALS, is a dynamic and refreshing look at evaluation and management coding from the perspective of a practicing healthcare provider. Designed to help everyone in your practice have the same understanding and knowledge on this subject.
We provide a unique opportunity for everyone in your office that has anything to do with documentation and coding to get together at the same time. Physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, medical staff, billing and coding specialists, and of course, your office manager will all come away with a greater understanding and increased confidence in the process of selection of the correct E&M code for patient encounters.
This is one workshop that will get everyone back on the same page by focusing on the team approach to medical practice and documentation, and on what really goes on in today's medical practice.
