Speciality Training

Emergency Medicine deals with unique set of challenges for coding.

This specialty is also known as “Emergency Department(ED)”, “Emergency Room(ER)”, “Emergency Ward (EW)” “Accident & Emergency Department (A&E)” or “Casualty Department”.

These departments operate 24/7 and provide initial treatment for a broad spectrum of illnesses and injuries, some of which may be life-threatening and require immediate attention.

Patients who may present for acute care without prior appointment, either by their own means or by an ambulance.

TOPICS COVERED IN ED

• Professional Coding
• Facility Coding
• Handy steps to attain ED level.
• Numerous ED Samples

Evaluation and Management (E&M)

Evaluation and management coding is one of the most difficult area in medical coding. Coders struggle with CPT guidelines to level the service with History, Exam, Medical Decision Making, Modifiers. Also, Coders make immense effort to determine the appropriate level of E/M service with 1995/1997 documentation guidelines.  

Medical coders who want to navigate their specialty can choose this course to know better understanding in evaluation and management coding.

TOPICS COVERED IN E&M

• Easily manageable steps to attain E/M level.
• Difference and the impact of the 1995 and 1997 guidelines
• Multiple examples in all broad categories such as office visit, hospital visit, Consultation etc..
