During this session we will discuss medical necessity and what that means from a documentation and coding perspective. There are many times that medical necessity comes into question for ENT due to the various services that are often performed along with an E/M service and/or during a post operative period. We will review those scenarios and when it is and is not appropriate to bill those services and the detail that the documentation needs to show.
