Summary
In this session, Shannon DeConda, President of NAMAS, will skillfully provide you with a better understanding of the 2021 rules for Medical Decision Making (MDM) by comparing and contrasting them to previous guidelines. Distinguish the difference between MDM and Medical Necessity, and know how they work together. Shannon will illustrate the impact of chart note documentation on coding and auditing and explain how the various pieces of the patient encounter need to come together collectively to accurately reflect the complexity of the visit. Explore key concepts for MDM, gain insight into the impact of word selection, and review examples from the 2021 guidelines that offer greater clarity for scoring the overall MDM in the future.
