E/M Chart Auditing
and Coding, a self-paced
continuing education course on CD-ROM, offers
comprehensive information on E/M coding
guidelines and code usage, and elaborates on how
to audit services before they are billed, after
they are billed, or how to focus the audit to
target specific service areas. The course
provides a comparison of the 1995 and 1997 E/M
documentation guidelines and discusses the finer
points of auditing with 1995 or 1997 rules.
E/M Chart Auditing and
Coding covers all services
categorized in the E/M section,
but provides
focus on the physician office visit,
consultations, prolonged services, ED services
and other E/M areas. The user will first review
in-depth E/M coding guidelines, then use that
information and case studies for auditing.

nature of the course allows you to work at your
own pace. This is also an excellent way to
satisfy the continuing education provision of
the compliance plan of a physician practice or
third party billing firm.

been pre-approved
for 16.0 Continuing Education Units
from the American Academy of Professional Coders
