Article Overview

This article is a Medicare-focused coding and compliance brief for physicians, coders, and billing staff working with teaching physician services and shared evaluation and management reporting. It explains the relationship between split/shared service policy, resident participation, and broader rules for physician-to-physician sharing of E/M work in office and hospital settings. The discussion is centered on policy distinctions and general reporting considerations rather than detailed code selection guidance.
