Coding for prolonged services requires practitioner education, careful documentation and coder oversight. These codes are the opposite of “set and forget.” CPT and CMS use different codes and have different time thresholds. For some services, CMS allows time spent on services done on a different date! With different codes and different time thresholds, it is challenging to report these codes. This webinar will describe the CPT and HCPCS codes and the conflicting rules related to them. Participants will leave with recommendations for educating practitioners, and with charts showing base codes, add-on codes and time thresholds.
After the webinar, participants will be able to:
- Compare and contrast the CPT and HCPCS codes and rules
- Explain the rules and documentation requirements to practitioners
- Audit prolonged care services notes
