ER coders/auditors that use a "grid" vs. points to establish E/M level of service.
I would like some thoughts and info on FACILITY coding of ED services using a grid rather than a points based system. How long have you used a grid? How did you go about transitioning to it and how did you set your thresholds and what constituted each level of service. Do you feel that its better/worse and why?
Any information you would be willing to share would be greatly appreciated!
