E/M Coding and Billing Resources for Surgeons

Evaluation and management (E/M) services are frequently furnished by surgeons involved in either evaluating or managing patient health. Surgeons and practice staff can maximize reimbursement and avoid claims denials by understanding how to properly document and code for E/M visits.

The ACS E/M Coding and Billing Resource Center offers tools to assist surgical practices in navigating Medicare guidelines for reporting a variety of different E/M services.
