New Evaluation and Management Frequently Asked Question for Time-Based Services

We’ve added a new FAQ for E/M time-based services.

  1. Please define rules for using time to level-set a service in the inpatient setting.

    ​​​​​​​Answer: In the inpatient setting, the provider’s time spent at the bedside and on the unit, relative to the patient’s care, is counted toward total time for a service. This time does not need to reflect counseling and/or coordination of care. This rule applies also to split/shared inpatient services. Added 5/11/2022
