Peter R. Jensen MD, CPC
Our E/M coding and documentation courses are designed and narrated by Peter R. Jensen, MD, CPC, founder of E/M University. 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.
The online courses listed below teach doctors and coders the same purpose-driven approach used by Dr. Jensen during E/M coding workshops accross the country.

The Basic Course |
Rational Physician Coding for E/M Services |
Rational Physician Coding for Hospitalist E/M Services |
||
 |
 |
 |
||
 |
|
|
||
| This course teaches you everything you need to know about the 1995 and 1997 E/M guidelines. Learn how to document the history and physical exam and how to quanitfy your medical decision-making. You are probably over-documenting! | Learn how to select the "correct" level of care for every encounter based on the cognitive labor provided. Then perform and document the history and exam in a purpose-driven manner to ensure compliance. | This is the version of the "Rational Physician Coding" course designed for hospitalists. See how to quantify your cognitive labor and perform and document the most common hospitalist encounters as efficiently as possible. | ||
Established Office Patients |
New Office Patients |
Admission H&Ps |
||
 |
 |
 |
||
|
|
|
||
| These are the most common patient encounters on the planet, so it's important to code correctly for these visits. Knowing the difference between a level 3 and level 4 established office patient can make a huge difference in your remibursement and income. | Now that the consult codes have been eliminated for Medicare patients, the new office patient visit has become the most common outpatient initial encounter. Learn exactly what needs to be documented for each level of care for these visits. All levels of care are discussed. | Step-by-step, learn how to perform and document the key components correctly for all three levels of care for admission H&Ps. You will also see how to avoid the most common catastrophic documentation errors for these visits. | ||
Hospital Progress Notes |
E/M Consult Services |
Observation Care Services |
||
 |
 |
 |
||
|
|
|
||
| These are the most common hospital encounters. Most doctors over-document and under-code for these services. This course will show you how to avoid this trap and save time while increasing reimbursement. | Although Medicare no longer pays for consult services, some private payers still do. But beware. Auditors love to downcode these visits when doctors don't include the exact right terminology. Learn to get it right. | The observation rules have recently been changed. Did you know there is a whole new set of codes for observation "progress notes?" See when to use the observation codes and how to complete the documentation correctly. | ||
Critical Care and Other Timed Services |
Emergency Department E/M Services |
The Faculty Course |
||
 |
 |
 |
||
|
|
|
||
| What is critical care? What needs to be documented? What is needed for prolonged services? Using real-life examples, you will get the answers to these questions and more from this course. | You spend a lot of time in the ER so you might as well get paid for it. Emergency room visits are not just for ER docs any more! Hospitalists now have to use these codes when performing "consults" on patients in the ER. | The rules are a little different for documenting E/M services while working with medical students, interns and residents. Learn how house staff can help you complete the documentation for academic E/M services. | ||
The Resident E/M Coding Course |
||||
 |
||||
|
||||
| Most academic programs provide little if any E/M coding education which leaves residents at a disadvantage when they get out in to the real world. This course teaches efficient E/M coding and documentation from the house-staff point of view. | ||||
