EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT (E/M)

A doctor using a computer

Description automatically generated with low confidence

Insurance coding and billing is complex, but it boils down to how to accurately apply a code, or CPT (current procedural terminology), to the service that you provided. The payer then reimburses the service at a certain rate. As a provider, you will have to understand what codes to use and what documentation is necessary to support coding.

For this Assignment, you will review evaluation and management (E/M) documentation for a patient and perform a crosswalk of codes from DSM-5-TR to ICD-10.

Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity.Click the weekly resources link to access the resources.
