I have registered to take the E&M speciality exam. I obtained my CPC two years ago. I have interviewed with McKesson in the past for and E&M position, but I did not have enough experience. The group that I work for uses EMR and therefore the doctors simply click on what they did, and then the front desk person imports the charges and they get billed out. (We are a 16 physician multi-speciality group) I am the billing manager and we only have to get involved when a claim denies for various reasons. The only charges we bill here at the billing office are imaging and lab. I explained to the gentleman at McKesson that with EMR, no one has to read a clinical note and code it out. Has anyone else ran into this? I also know that at other practices in and around our town most of the front desk employees simply code off of a superbill that the physician circles what he did....I am just curious that with the government pushing EMR that more and more offices will have the simplicity of the click of a button and out the door it goes.
