E/M Services

Specialties

For many practices, E/M services are what you do the most. Knowing what type of service to bill, what level of service and the rules related to the visit will decrease denials and payment delays. Here you'll find an overview, MDM and rule changes, resources organized just like your CPT® book, and a bonus section with E/M frequency data.
