    Why Emergency Medicine Billing
    Requires Acute Precision

    Emergency medicine is unlike any other specialty: unpredictable acuity, rapid documentation, split billing between facility and physicians, critical care rules, and payer-specific ED policies that change constantly. Emergency medicine billing services demand precise E/M leveling, accurate critical care coding, strict EMTALA compliance, and rapid claim submission under constantly changing CMS and payer rules.
