VisitCoding 2.0.1

VisitCoding is an educational tool for the calculation of Evaluation and Management CPT® codes by medical professionals. The calculator employs a unique approach to prompt users for the components required by Medicare to justify care levels. This application dynamically computes the E&M code while inputting visit components, allowing for efficient note-taking while maximizing appropriate code levels.

• Opportunity to select between the 1995 and 1997 CMS guidelines for other visits (both acceptable to Medicare and insurers)
• Natively compatible with iPhone, iPad, and new Macs
• Generates daily visit summaries with displayed CPT® codes and RVU values
• Compatible with various visit types: inpatient, outpatient, new and return visits, and nursing home visits
• Facilitates accurate entry for a successful reimbursement process
• Visualize the impact of each component on the final code level
• Highlights the significance of less acknowledged visit elements like the differential diagnosis, family history review, or clinician's study brief
• Beneficial for both instructional purposes and daily practice
• Email support for visit details and CPT® codes
• Retains visit records for future retrieval
• Integration of crucial tips and accessibility to CMS E&M Guidelines within the app

Many clinicians inadvertently undercode due to complexities and ambiguities in CMS E&M Guidelines or coding by time, which often undervalues visits. With VisitCoding, clinicians can efficiently learn how to document visits, providing more time to focus on patient care. The app allows tailoring of documentation that suits clinical requirements.

The app adheres to the 1995, 1997, and 2021 CMS Documentation Guidelines for Evaluation and Management Services alongside the annually updated Current Procedural Technology® RVU tables.

Please note that while every effort has been taken to ensure accurate calculations in accordance with guidelines and code books, using this application is at your own risk. VisitCoding is designed for trained medical professionals who should have results cross-checked by coding professionals. Users must accept the terms of use accompanying the application.
