About
The Tracked Time is displayed alongside the MDM calculation in the Coding section of the Encounter Note, giving you the opportunity to decide which coding method you will use for the Encounter. The categories of tracked-time are presented with their respective minutes/seconds breakdown according to your practice's global setting. They are added up and displayed as Total Time, which is also used to determine the CPT code suggestion. To learn how to code and finalize your Encounter Note, click here.
