The American Osteopathic Association's (AOA) first edition "Guide to Coding & Documentation: Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment" serves as a comprehensive reference tool for physicians and their practices. It offers practical advice and best practices on clinical coding and documentation for Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) procedures and same-day Evaluation & Management (E/M) services to prevent delayed reimbursement, claims denials and/or audits. Content has been developed by an expert panel of osteopathic physicians in conjunction with AOA staff with subject matter expertise in coding, practice management and payor relations.
