Mike Enos, CPC, CPMA, CEMC, shared his perspectives and tips to avoid coding and documentation audits and help practices get reimbursed for what they earned.
Coding and documentation are key to getting reimbursed: If physicians cannot explain how they are helping their patients, they will not get paid for that care. There is another risk: Explaining it incorrectly, inadequately or not at all can make payers question all the time and effort doctors put in with their patients, which can lead to payers auditing practice billing records — and possibly demanding money back.
To minimize that risk, Mike Enos, CPC, CPMA, CEMC, a partner in Enos Medical Coding, shared his perspectives and tips in “Unlocking Audit-Proof Revenue: Insider Secrets for E&M Excellence,” part of Medical Economics’ Spring 2025 Practice Academy.
