Medical decision-making (MDM) and medical necessity are not the same thing. MDM specifically refers to the complexity of establishing a diagnosis and/or selecting a management option. Medical necessity refers to the appropriateness of the service provided for a certain condition. But which determines how you get reimbursed, when many healthcare professionals use these terms interchangeably?
