The Coding Committee is providing important E/M education on the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) section of the AMA medical risk grid. Since 2021, SDOH have been elevated as a key component in E/M. Don’t overlook the many Z codes that validate a “significant SDOH” diagnosis that could provide that level 4 visit you have been overlooking. Learn the proper way to document these patient conditions and scenarios in your E/M services—don’t overlook SDOH!
