Surgical practices bleed on E/M coding. Level 4-5 office visits (99214/99215) denied 68% despite perfect documentation. $312K lost quarterly.

The E/M denial trap:

Surgeons document time/history/exam

Payers demand 'medical decision making' proof

CO-18 (duplicate) on post-op visits

Billers can't prove MDM complexity
