Insurance coding and billing is complex, but it boils down to how
to accurately apply a code, or CPT (current procedural
terminology), to the service that you provided. The payer then
reimburses the service at a certain rate. As a provider, you will
have to understand what codes to use and what documentation is
necessary to support coding.
For this Assignment, you will review Assessment and management
(E/M) documentation for a patient and perform a crosswalk of
codes from DSM-5 to ICD-10.
