Evaluation and Management (E/M)
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 case study patient. You will analyze the documentation to formulate DSM-5-TR diagnoses and ICD-10 coding. You will formulate a billing code for reimbursement of the case study. You will consider legal and ethical considerations for coding and billing. You will analyze and consider the documentation necessary to support accurate billing and coding procedures.
