The new resource is offered to the HIM community in appreciation for their service to the healthcare industry. E/M coding is complex which supports the need for a tool of this nature to ensure healthcare providers and physicians are reimbursed appropriately and reduce the risk of compliance audits.
The tool is secure, HIPAA-compliant and follows the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) accepted coding standards; it is easily accessible at www.gebbs.com/emcalculator.
Registered users, after logging in, will have full access to the toolโs capabilities, including:
- Ability to print findings to PDF format

โE/M leveling is important; too many physicians are inappropriately assigning E/M codes, mainly because they do not understand the complex rules.ย An improved working knowledge of E/M coding and comprehensive reference tool is the best way to ensure optimal coding compliance,โ explained Cara Friederich, GeBBSโ Director of Coding & Consulting Services.
