Show Your Thinking.
Every Visit Is a Claim: Writing Notes That Support Your E/M Level. In this self-paced, online course, learn how to move beyond simply documenting what happened during the visit and start writing notes that clearly show the clinical work behind the code.
Lock in the pre-enrollment rate before the course opens.
2027 changes more than the codes.
As maternity care moves away from relying on the traditional global package and toward encounter-based E/M reporting, every individual visit carries more documentation weight.
Your note needs to tell the story of the work you actually did: what you evaluated, what information you reviewed, what decisions you made, what risk you managed, and — when applicable — the time you spent providing care.
If the work isn't visible in the note, it becomes much harder to defend the code.
You learned the coding.
Now let's work on the charting.
Understanding E/M coding is one skill. Writing a maternity note that clearly supports the appropriate E/M level is another.
This focused course was created so we can slow down, work through real documentation, and practice turning the clinical thinking that's already happening in your head into language that can actually be seen in the chart.
Don't just know the rules.
Learn to show the work.
We'll apply E/M principles directly to maternity documentation so you can see exactly how the note connects to the code.
Transform a SOAP note
Take a traditional maternity SOAP note and restructure it into an EPSO-style note that better reflects the clinical decision-making happening during the encounter.
Find the supporting words
Point directly to the language in the note that supports problems, data, risk, or time — and recognize what's missing when the documentation falls short.
Choose the defensible level
Evaluate the finished documentation and determine the highest E/M level the note actually supports — not simply the level you intended to bill.
Meet the EPSO framework.
A documentation structure designed to make the clinical thinking behind maternity care easier to see, follow, and defend.
Evaluation
Clearly establish what is being evaluated or addressed during today's encounter.
Problems
Make the problems and conditions actually addressed during the encounter visible in the note.
Support
Show the findings, records, tests, data, and clinical information supporting your assessment.
Outcome / Plan
Capture the decisions made, management performed, risk addressed, and what happens next.
This is a practical charting class.
We're not spending the whole course talking about documentation theory. We're going to work with notes.
Built for maternity care.
Designed for midwives, birth centers, maternity practices, billers, administrators, and team members who need to understand how clinical documentation connects to E/M coding in the new maternity billing environment.
Whether you're the person writing the note or the person trying to code it afterward, the goal is the same: make the work visible.
Your E/M code shouldn't require someone to guess what happened in the room.
Learn to write maternity notes that show the work, support the code, and create stronger documentation behind every claim.
