Best Practices in Documenting and Coding High-Value Care in Workers' Compensation Encounters-ACOEM Guidance Statement.

Because these elements of care deviate from the usual pattern of ambulatory services, providers of workers' compensation care have faced challenges in billing and auditing practices resulting in underpayment when providing high-value care based on evidence-based guidelines. Recent changes in Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services rules on documentation requirements for coding outpatient evaluation and management encounters offer an opportunity for occupational health clinicians to be paid appropriately for care that follows occupational medicine practice guidelines.
