  • Chart, Code, and Bill for E&M Office Visits

    Upon completion of encounters, a clinician selects billing codes. They often select an “Evaluation and Management” or E&M code, either for new or established patients. This is sometimes called the “office visit” code. E&M code selection is based on medical decision making and the amount of time spent. This article collects resources and guidelines for E&M office visits, with some tips on implementation in PCC EHR.
