The Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) is a medical society comprised of hospitalists that exists to promote exceptional care for hospitalized patients.
Coding and reimbursement are both foundational concepts necessary for any hospitalist.
Evaluation & Management Principles for Hospitalists is the only course on E/M coding designed specifically for hospitalists. It will empower hospitalists to document and code accurately and completely, so they are appropriately reimbursed for the work they do.
Participants will learn the basics of common Evaluation & Management codes for hospitalists and understand principles for accurate and complete documentation. Learn from a coder and a hospitalist – both of them drawing on their extensive knowledge and experience in documentation, coding, and billing rules and best practices.
CPT® codes reviewed include:
