In this exciting three-part series we will hear from our advisors all about how to unravel the E/M guidelines and how to interpret areas of documentation. In this episode, we will look at how to interpret some key definitions in the MDM that affect a patient’s condition.

• The meaning of acute vs chronic
• Exacerbated conditions vs severe exacerbations
• Complicated vs uncomplicated conditions

There are many areas to dissect and you simply cannot do it without research, communication, and a good understanding of anatomy and disease processes. .
