# E-Mail I Love To Get

This arrived in my mailbox last week:

> By the way......Take a look at my SRS coding numbers from 7/23/06-9/14/06 compared to 7/23/07-9/14/07. I listened at the conference.

For the unitiated, "SRS" is the name of [our](http://www.pcc.com) "[Smart Support Suite](http://learn.pcc.com/srs/)" that our customers use to look at their data. It comes with all kinds of [pediatric benchmarking](http://learn.pcc.com/Content/Dashboards/DashIntro.htm) tools built in. In this instance, the doctor is referring to an E&M distribution. So, per request, I called into the practice's system to see the results. Wow!

| E&M Rates |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Code** | **2006** | **2007** |
| **99213** | 87% | 74% |
| **99214** | 10.6% | 21% |
| **99215** | .7% | 4.5% |

At the average reimbursement for this practice, this improvement projects to a revenue increase of *over $10,000 a year* for just this one physician*. *Just for getting charts right, no extra overhead. Sadly, this pediatrician has 3 other partners (out of 6) who are as bad or worse - putting more than $40,000 a year into the pocket of the MCOs. The way I see it, though, even one doctor is an improvement. Congrats!
