EXAMPLES OF TIME MANAGEMENT AFFECTING E/M CODING AND REVENUES
There has been a lot of confusion since the introduction of new time criteria for evaluation and management codes as to effect that the time spent with a patient influences the choice of codes and the revenues. Let us consider two scenarios:-
Dr. A saw four 99214-level visits in his first hour today. Because of the efficiency of both the doctor and his support staff what would take 110 minutes ( in accordance with HCFA guidelines) took him only 60 minutes. For his efforts, Medicare pays him $ 288.12
Dr. B in the practice across the hall did only two 99212 level visits in the same hour. Because it took him 30 minutes for each visit ( he correctly and legally) up codes those two visits to 99214. For his efforts Medicare pays him $ 144.06
IF THIS TYPE OF SITUATION PRESENTS ITSELF ONLY TWICE A WEEK IT INCREASES YOUR REIMBURSEMENT BY $10 PER OCCURRENCE, YOU HAVE MADE AN ADDITIONAL $ 1040 IN A YEAR�S TIME�. ..WITH NO ADDITIONAL LABOUR THAN JUST A QUICK AND CORRECT INTERPRETATION OF THE CHARTS.
