Question: I've been using your online calculator giving benchmarks for E&M code usage by specialty. It's great, but I'm wondering where the data comes from. Can I access it, too?
Answer: The data comes from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). It reflects what providers have reported to them through their claims.
