Starting January 1, 2021, new Evaluation and Management (E&M) coding rules will change aspects of how providers document patient office visits and outpatient encounters. This will give providers more flexibility to document in a way that makes sense to them, but will also require changes to your software, along with education and training for providers.
How do NextGen® Enterprise clients receive functionality to support the rules?
There are two ways to get the new E&M functionality:
- Upgrade to NextGen® Enterprise release 5.9.2020.1 (upcoming release name for 5.9.4/8.9.4)
- Patches available back to version 5.9.0/8.4.0
