E/M Coding Tips And Risks

For this episode of Compliance Conversations, I sat down with Chad Peterson, a senior consultant at a large hospital, in their professional coding and reimbursement group. He educates physicians, mid-level providers/ advanced practice providers and even ancillary staff about E/M coding. Peterson explained some of the most common E/M coding mistakes. For example, in 2013 they came out with the status of 3 chronic conditions in addition to the already set guidelines. There’s often confusion around when to use regular HPI elements or when to use the status of 3 chronic conditions. “This is something really useful for your physicians,” Peterson added.
