Big changes in E/M coding: 10 tools to help you prepare
Starting in January 2021, evaluation and management (E/M) coding will no longer require that you document the history of present illness, review of systems, or exam bullet points. Instead, E/M coding will be based solely on medical decision making or total time.
To help you prepare for this major change in E/M coding, here are 10 resources from FPM and the AAFP.
1. Countdown to the E/M Coding Changes (an FPM article that describes the changes — part one in a three-part article series),
2. AAFP Coding Reference Cards: 2021 Office Visit E/M Coding & Documentation,
3. A Checklist for Solo and Independent Physicians,
4. A Checklist for Employed Physicians,
