They provide clear explanations of current issues in medical coding, billing, and auditing, along with helpful guidance on avoiding costly billing mistakes. Their discussions are timely, practical, and very relevant for professionals in the revenue cycle and compliance space. Highly recommended for anyone in the industry.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E/M Q&A on Documentation MDM and Time
Q: Can EHR default appointment times be used to support time-based E/M billing?
No. Time-based billing requires documenting actual time spent with the patient and a time-qualifying statement; defaults do not provide an accurate representation of the care delivered.
E/M Q&A on Documentation MDM and Time
Q: Does an elevated blood pressure noted during a visit count as a problem addressed if the patient is told to follow up with their PCP?
No, unless there is documented actions or instructions taken during the encounter that address the issue; simply deferring does not count as addressing the problem.
E/M Q&A on Documentation MDM and Time
Q: If AI ambient scribing is used, does it change the provider's responsibility for the content of the note?
No—the provider remains responsible for reviewing, attesting, and signing off on the note, and must correct any AI-generated inaccuracies before it becomes part of the medical record.
E/M Q&A on Documentation MDM and Time
Q: How should I approach a scenario where a provider refuses to document a physical exam and defers it?
You must document what was observed, potentially visually, and address clinical indications; deferring without substantive notes is not acceptable, and you may need to involve department leadership to enforce proper documentation standards.
Behavioral Health Q&A: Documentation, Billing, and Audit Risk
Q: What happens when a provider's notes are late or incomplete, making it hard to support the underlying E&M before adding psychotherapy codes?
There must be education and internal process changes; you cannot code or bill without adequate documentation, and administrators should address workflow issues to prevent reliance on rushed or speculative billing.
