So helpful!
I am a facility ED coder who has recently gone from facility-guided E&M to unguided facility and pro-fee coding. I felt like I was drowning. This course was so helpful. Victoria's method of breaking each aspect down makes it so easy to understand. Thank you!

E/M Rescue
Victoria's breakdown and discussion of the elements of Medical Decision Making is a lifesaver. The E/M section is, no doubt, where I tend to struggle. After completing this course, I feel more confident moving forward. Thank you so much!
