The latest Practice Made Perfect podcast, titled Coding & Documentation, offers an overview of what clinicians need to know about coding and documenting their evaluation and management (E/M), with a focus on critical elements that often lead to coding errors.

Featuring Linda Gates-Striby, the podcast highlights the reasons why it’s more important than ever to ensure proper coding and documentation of all services rendered, including the fact that pretty much every payer is looking at claims data. In addition, Gates-Striby provides documentation tips, defines key terms, outlines three key element of E/M services, and more.
