Dr. Jensen is a practicing physician as well as a certified professional coder. He speaks nationally to physicians and coders about accurate and ethical E/M coding and documentation and has published several articles on this subject. All of the courses listed below employ the exact same purpose-driven approach used by Dr. Jensen during E/M coding workshops accross the country. Learn how to apply the E/M guidelines to ensure compliance, eliminate undercoding and save time by streamlining the documentation process.
