Is the OIG Looking at Your E/M Services?
Audits reveal E/M services are often incorrectly coded.
Why an In-House Audit and Tools Matter.
The OIG is focusing on E/M services. Are you prepared? In 2010, Medicare paid $32.3 billion for E/M services. This represented almost 30% of Medicare Part B payments for that year. The OIG also discovered that in the same year, 42% of claims for E/M services were erroneously coded and a whopping 19% lacked documentation entirely.
It’s no surprise that the OIG has clamped down on E/M services. Audit results reveal that healthcare organizations would greatly benefit from a professional audit staff and tools to properly mitigate potential E/M audit problems and risks.
