| As established physicians, most of our incomes are based on RVU productivity. Many of us are leaving thousands, tens of thousands, maybe even a hundred thousand dollars of unbilled RVUs on the table every year. It is time to take that money off the table and put it into our bank accounts, where it belongs. We need to stop undercoding and start billing for our time and expertise. After adapting the recent coding guideline changes, it will be easier than you think to dramatically increase your RVUs! During this presentation we will identify the common reasons why we undercode, discuss the basic E/M coding guideline changes and then review everyday examples to show how easy it is to implement these changes.
