Each question will specifiy which guidelines to use so don't worry about not knowing which one to use for the exam. There are about 50 charts to code with 3 questions per chart. It is not hard but be aware that it is ENTIRELY E/M coding. Good Luck!

Thanks for your reply.
I need some clarification regarding consultations..
its consultation chart..
it has 3 questions
one of the questions is What category it is ? and the statement in the billing information says the provider billed 99245 to medicare.
options are given like this..
A) New patient
B) Office consultations
C) Established Patient
D) In patient consultations
and in another consultation chart it says the provider billed 99245.
options are given like this..
A) New patient
B) Office consultations
C) Established Patient
D) In patient consultations
I know that if the patient has medicare we use 99201 -99215 based on patient status.
i wrote CEMC 2 time but failed with 66% both the times.
because iam only able to do 30 charts in 5 hours 40 minutes remaining charts iam blindly choosing the answers as time is short and more over only on consultation nearly 10 charts are there which will carry nearly 45 marks but iam little confused.
And the second or the first question for every consultations chart says what is the level of the sevice?
and the options goes like this ..
A)992X2
B)992X3
C)992X4
D)992X5
And another issue is in all the consultation charts first 2 question are inter linked to each other if iam wrong with first question ultimately the second question is going wrong and vise versa.
i need som help on these issues this time iam again writing on september 29 wihch is a third attemt so i dont want to do the same thing.
