On July 1st, AMA released the 2023 E&M Guidelines that will be applied to all E&M services. This once-in-a-generation shift in the coding process will significantly impact how the E&M codes are assigned in the emergency department.  Therefore, every practicing emergency physician and their coding staff need to understand how to incorporate these changes into their documentation and coding processes

ERcoder is hosting virtual training for the 2023 ED E&M Documentation Guidelines.  ED physicians and coders will have the opportunity to participate in live presentations as ERcoder President Todd Thomas explains and demonstrates the new MDM grid and how it applies to emergency medicine.

There are two courses offered.

The 2023 MDM Grid and Its Application in the Emergency Department – Registration Fee $200 per person.

This 90-minute presentation will explain the new coding process to physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and ED residents working in the emergency department.  It will discuss the individual MDM components and what needs to be documented to assign the E&M code that accurately reflects the service rendered.

Attendees will be shown several areas where slight modifications in their documentation routine will help when the time comes to implement the 2023 coding guidelines.  Not only that, but these tips will strengthen their current ED chart notes and help support the E&M codes reported through the rest of 2022.
