wilso2ar Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I'm curious what everyone's thoughts are on the new guidelines when using medical decision making when deciding E/M codes. Personally I love it and am using MDM to determine levels of all my E/M codes now. I find that I write a lot under the diagnosis anyway both to help me remember at their next visit as well as to make it more clear my thought process to anyone reading the note. I am also finding that almost all of my office visits are 99214s now. Now if we can find a way to get the useless "patient centered medical home" info out of the notes from the PCP. I hate sifting through 15 pages for a HPI and plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthropathy Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I think is fantastic. Working in ortho I found if very difficult to hit 99204 because of the physical exam component. Now a new patient with really any intervention is an easy 99204. I am also now writing a SOAP note instead of 6-pages of data Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
