A Note from: Catherine A. Brink, CMM, CPC

    "With the continued changes in E/M coding during the last two years, it is no wonder that it is one of the most challenging aspects of coding and reimbursement in cardiology practices nationwide.  

    To face this challenge and survive, practices need to focus their efforts on improving E/M data quality, compliance and enhancement. Through focused education on the documentation and coding of E/M services, your cardiology practice can receive the reimbursement it deserves.  

    The best defense against denials and lost revenue is for your staff to understand the nuances within the E/M type of service (TOS) and level of service (LOS) definitions, to use the E/M modifiers correctly and to learn documentation enhancement skills that you can use on a daily basis.  

    These and many other issues on E/M coding will be covered in the upcoming teleconference. I look forward to sharing this valuable information with you.

    Catherine A. Brink, CMM, CPC

    P.S. Don’t miss the early discount before October 31."
