Debunking regulatory myths

The AMA provides regulatory clarification to physicians and their care teams in an effort to aid physicians in their day-to-day practice environment.

CPT®

Are commercial health plans required to adopt revisions to the E/M codes?

This regulatory myth examines if commercial payers are required to adopt the E/M office visit code revisions.

Medicare & Medicaid

CPOE: Is order entry a physician-only EHR task?

Learn how to debunk the myth that only physicians can pend or enter orders through computerized provider order entry (CPOE).

Sustainability

How does an extended prescription duration help your patients and your practice?

More than 84% of all office visits to primary care physicians involve medication therapy (CDC, 2016), refilling prescriptions for approximately 12 patients each day who were not otherwise counted as an office visit or condition-specific telephone call (Baron, 2010).

Sustainability

Pain assessments: Are clinicians required to ask patients about pain during every consultation?

The myth: Clinical teams are required to ask patients about their level of pain at every visit, regardless of the reason for the visit.
