The Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program allows people with certain medical conditions, upon the recommendation of an Ohio-licensed physician certified by the State Medical Board, to purchase and use medical marijuana. For physicians incorporating this into their practice, it is important that professional practice standards be in place and an effective coding, documentation and billing compliance plan be followed.
This webinar was developed to describe the Ohio requirements for medical marijuana in terms of patient status, review the diagnoses required to support the marijuana recommendation, and explain the E/M documentation requirements for history, exam and medical decision-making process, and levels of care. The agenda will review diagnoses for services, documentation requirements for assessment and frequency, practice model concerns such as cash or insurance, and more.
Note: This webinar was developed in 2019. Since then, the E/M guidelines have been changed so this portion of the webinar is outdated.
