I've been seeing E&M coding questions on here a lot lately. Billers need to understand that E&M is not just a code for an office visit (although the doctors should be paid for an office visit, but they won't be) there has to be an actual EVALUATION as well as the management. It's not just talking to the patient, it's all vitals, examination etc. There should be a code for just a visit to order another test, or go over results etc. But to date there isn't.
