Place of service, type of service, and patient status are all important factors in determining the appropriate E/M code to use for a particular encounter. The E/M coding section specifically addresses these factors and provides guidelines for selecting the correct code. Stand-alone codes, category III codes, and appendices A through N do not provide specific guidance on these factors for E/M coding.
