E/M Level 4-5 Denials = $312K Surgical Revenue Leak
Surgical practices bleed on E/M coding. Level 4-5 office visits (99214/99215) denied 68% despite perfect documentation. $312K lost quarterly.
The E/M denial trap:
Surgeons document time/history/exam
Payers demand 'medical decision making' proof
CO-18 (duplicate) on post-op visits
Billers can't prove MDM complexity
