CCO Admin asked:
Hello; I was watching your YouTube video on EM coding @ <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVTf9qLiPfI> I was wondering if this same technique applies to Observations; Inpatient; Consults; Emergency; Nursing Homes... all the other E/M areas? Emergency is different right?
Also; in the video you mentioned that most of the test questions for E/M are expressed as Problem focused; comprehensive exam; moderate MDM.. instead of having to pull everything out and getting to each of those conclusions like we do when learning it. Is that still the case? TYIA!
