Description of CME Course
With the 2021 revisions to the E/M office visit coding documentation requirements, there exists conflicting information regarding how physicians and other qualified health professionals are required to document the time spent on each specific task associated with an outpatient visit due to how these revisions are a significant departure from the prior 1995 and 1997 rules.
