In this exciting three-part series we will hear from our advisors all about how to unravel the E/M guidelines and how to interpret areas of documentation. In this episode, we will look at how to interpret some key definitions in the MDM  that affect a patient's condition.

The meaning of acute vs chronic
Exacerbated conditions vs severe exacerbations
Complicated vs uncomplicated conditions

There are many areas to dissect and you simply cannot do it without research, communication, and a good understanding of anatomy and disease processes. .
