Researchers examined the current procedural terminology (CPT) evaluation and management (E&M) code distribution before and after applying corrections for the inaccuracy of code assignment to actual CPT E&M claims. They found that code distribution differed dramatically after the practice's claims were corrected for coding errors identified by coding analysts. Physicians' poor understanding of coding guidelines and regulatory pressure to code correctly may account for the discrepancies. Regardless of the reasons, poor coding opens an organization to compliance audits and loss of legitimately earned revenue.
