E/M Auditing Specialty Providers

Today on the CodeCast Podcast, Terry discusses a topic that comes up in auditing conversations frequently: “that an auditor needs to specialize in a certain specialty before they can audit E/M services for that specialty.” That is not necessarily true.

I understand where that thought comes from.

It can absolutely help for an auditor to be familiar with the anatomy, medications, terminology, and common treatment plans within a specific specialty. That knowledge can make the note easier to follow. It may also help the auditor know when they need to ask a question or do additional research. But does it also create a bias?

Let’s chat about this today on the CodeCast.
