Medical Decision Making specifically refers to the complexity of establishing a diagnosis and/or selecting a management option. Medical necessity refers to the appropriateness of the service provided for a certain condition.

Terry will help you understand the differences and also prepare you for what’s ahead in 2021 in today’s podcast episode.
