Top Line: Compulink Healthcare Solutions, the creator of Advantage SMART Practice, the EHR and practice management system powered by artificial intelligence (AI), is readying its EHR coding engine to support the new 2021 Evaluation and Management (E/M) CPT codes. Slated to become effective on January 1, 2021, the E/M changes are major and will impact coding and billing for every office visit.
Close Up: To support E/M 2021, the company’s EHR coding engine will utilize the new coding methodology and time spent guidelines to automatically identify the best code to bill for maximum reimbursement. For its eyecare clients, Advantage will also automatically evaluate three possible eyecare codes and suggest the code with highest level of reimbursement.
“The last time the E/M coding underwent this major a revision was in the 1990s. These changes will have a huge impact on workflow and payment eligibility for our clients,” said Link Wilson, CEO and product architect for Compulink. “We’ve consulted with industry coding experts to help ensure providers will get paid the maximum amount for their services, and that we’re ready by the January deadline.”
The company also announced it is offering a money back guarantee to have its products ready to support the 2021 E/M changes.
