  • 1.  distribution of consultation coding levels

    Is there data available regarding the distribution of MFM consultation codes across a collection of providers?   
    For example, wondering if level 3 the average/most common ?  
    Thanks!​

    Great question!
    Not publicly available that i'm aware of, but many of us have looked at the distribution within our own groups to get a sense how the practice is billing. Payers haven't put out anything that i've seen in Delaware, other states may be different.

    Given the coding changes the data will not be robust until people get used to the new rules
