Evaluation and Management (E/M) codes are the backbone of physician billing. They determine reimbursement levels for patient encounters, yet they remain one of the most common sources of errors, denials, and lost revenue in healthcare.
Clinicians often find themselves asking:
-
Am I undercoding this visit and leaving money on the table?
-
Am I overcoding and risking an audit?
-
Do my notes reflect the level of care accurately?
That’s where the E/M Code Advisor from Docscrib comes in—bringing smarter billing with DocScrib directly inside your workflow.
What is an E/M Code Advisor?
An E/M Code Advisor is a digital assistant that analyzes your clinical documentation in real time and recommends the appropriate Evaluation and Management code based on visit complexity, time spent, and medical decision-making.
With DocScrib’s E/M Code Advisor, clinicians no longer have to guess. The AI ensures that:
-
Notes support the assigned code
-
Documentation is audit-ready
-
Reimbursement is optimized
It’s coding confidence, built into your everyday workflow.
Why E/M Coding is Hard to Get Right
Even experienced clinicians face challenges with E/M codes:
-
Complex Guidelines → Rules change often, especially around time-based vs. complexity-based coding.
-
Undercoding → Providers play it safe, leading to lost revenue.
-
Overcoding → Risks audits, penalties, and payer disputes.
-
Time Burden → Reviewing notes against coding rules eats into patient care hours.
Errors in E/M coding cost U.S. healthcare providers billions annually in denied claims and revenue leakage.
