Medical Decision Making Calculator - Google Desktop

noreply@blogger.com (R) — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 02:25:00 +0000

e-MedTools released a free Medical decision making calculator for Google Desktop.

Medical decision making (MDM) is a required component for all Evaluation and Management services (E&M), which include most clinic and hospital patient encounters.

This calculator is an excellent learning tool for clinicians that want to improve the accuracy of billing for E&M services, and is based on the MDM assessment method used by most Medicare carriers nationwide.

Health care providers working in Delaware, Maryland, Texas, Virginia, or the District of Columbia should use the method developed by TrailblazerHealth (the Medicare carrier in the states mentioned above) to evaluate the Medical Decision Making portion of the E&M service, which is not included in the current version of this calculator.

TheLungDoctor has shared a 2 page E&M coding/audit tool with us. This tool can help determine what level of E&M service has been provided, based on review of medical documentation.

This E&M coding/audit tool uses the method used by most Medicare carriers nationwide.

Health care providers working in Delaware, Maryland, Texas, Virginia, or the District of Columbia should use the method developed by TrailblazerHealth (the Medicare carrier in the states mentioned above) to evaluate the Medical Decision Making portion of the E&M service.
