I read all this talk on here and reddit about CMG's, RVU's and differences in various parts of the country. Is there any good resource to learn about CMG's, RVU's, which reimbursement model is common where, etc? Which "business" model is more comment in community vs university ED's? These are sadly the things they don't teach in medical school.

Wow, very useful. I wonder why I didn't think of that. Oh I did, and nothing came of it.

Really? I thought the simple google name drop was snarky, but also good advice. I have learned a ton about EM reimbursement over the past few years. 95% of what I learned has been a direct result of googling. That said, it admittedly does take time and effort to find the useful information out there. If you are looking for a dedicated resource on ED specific billing/coding, ectopic's suggestion seems like a good one... assuming you're willing to pay for information that is admittedly already out there for free.

Here there are outside forces that want to keep the books closed and keep you ignorant.

I did actually. Unfortunately, very little resources online saying whether university hospital ED's are CMG based etc
