Earlier this year, embattled physician Bryan Merrick, 65, the medical director for the Tennessee-based McKenzie Medical Center, had his Medicare billing privileges pulled by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) due to what he describes as simple clerical errors.

This will be one of several key topics touched upon during the next edition of Monitor Mondays, when Trinity Health Vice President of Care Management Mary Beth Pace will also report on chronic care management. Joining the discussion will be senior healthcare analyst Frank Cohen of DoctorsManagement, who will review evaluation and management (E&M) codes for office visits associated with Dr. Merrick’s patients.
