Hey guys, I passed my CPC a year ago but landed an E/M coding role a few months ago. I am the only coder on the floor in my area, my manager and supervisor are not coders and have no hands-on experience with coding.
I rely on coders/auditors/physician educators in other areas for guidance which is fine. I work from a few different work queues that are specific to IP/OP E/M visits as well as coding denials, I run/work 2 other reconciliation reports and now have to audit and follow up on work from another department. It is a bit overwhelming but I'm rolling with the punches.
The issue is... I'm being asked to document/screenshot every detail of what I do so I can create a coding job aid/manual/tip sheet for the department which should include productivity. This is my first coding role, I have no idea what the average number of accounts per hour or per day an E/M coder is supposed to complete. I don't even know if other new coders are tasked with running and working on other reports, auditing the work of other departments, and working on denials.
I accepted the position to get my foot in the door. I"m learning as I go but some things I do not know. Other coders have not responded to me when I asked them, so I figured someone here could offer some insight on how many accounts coders are typically expected to complete per hour, day or week. Whichever LoL thanks!
