Course: SkillsCom CRS 111 16.1 > Section: Credit Unit 2 Module 2

Instructions:

A coding and reimbursement specialist needs to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the medical decision-making (MDM) element. To successfully complete this competency assessment you successfully code two MDM excerpted documentations.  You will explain how you justified your diagnosis code(s) with medical necessity.  Remember the potential and procedure for coding MTO as well.

Review this E & M Coding Tool (Links to an external site.).  Note the yellow parts of the tool that specifically deal with the MDM portion of E & M Coding.  This tool may be helpful in determining from the medical documentation which level of coding should be used for this portion of the E & M Coding.  If you have questions, this is a good time to talk to your Content Expert about how to use this tool.
