PMIC E/M Coding Tool [3E] (ME166)
- The coding tool is continuously revised and updated, makes E/M coding faster and easier and is a great coding aid for both new and experienced coders. There are two ways to use the E/M Coding Tool.
- For selecting E/M codes, move the pointer to the Category, for example Office and Other Outpatient Services, New Patient. Then you move the pointer to each code until the dots in the window correspond to the service provided.
- To validate E/M codes that you have already chosen, move the pointer to the code, then review the components in the window to confirm that the required history, examination, medical decision making, nature of the presenting problem and time match the service provided and the documentation in the medical record.
