Coding for Hospital Services | Webinar

Recorded April 20, 2023

First, CPT® updated their E/M code set. Then, CMS interpreted the updates and applied their own reimbursement rules to the code set. This webinar will summarize CPT® rules and CMS’s February 2023 transmittal that addresses inpatient and observation billing by the admitting and consulting physicians, admission to inpatient status following observation care, and multiple visits in a single day. The webinar will discuss when coding instruction is the same for CPT® and CMS and when it varies.

Code Prolonged Services with Confidence | Webinar

Recorded March 16, 2023

Prolonged care coding has new challenges in 2023. There are both CPT® codes and HCPCS codes. The two code sets use different time thresholds. For some prolonged care services, CMS is allowing work done on a day prior to the primary visit and days after the visit, and some allow work done on days after the visit. This webinar will describe the coding rules for each set of prolonged care codes, and discuss the CPT/CMS variance in non-face-to-face prolonged care.

Coding Principles for Practice Administrators | Webinar

Recorded: July 21, 2022

Administrators managing both fee-for-service and value based payment contracts must maximize revenue and minimize risk in coding for services performed in their practices. Administrators—who aren’t coders—can accomplish this through by knowing where to find definitive answers and how to assess citations and conflicting information that is presented. This webinar will provide a framework for administrators when they are called about to mediate coding disagreements within their practices.

Coding Critical Care Services | Webinar

Recorded January 2023

CMS made significant changes to critical care coding effective in 2022. Not only did CMS adopt CPT prefatory language and rules, they did a 180 degree turn on allowing non-physician practitioners (NPPs) and physicians of the same specialty, in the same group to perform critical care as a split/shared visit. CMS developed a HCPCS modifiers for shared services, and for unrelated critical care in the post op period. This webinar will describe when those modifiers should be used.

Overview of FQHC Coding | Webinar

Recorded June 24, 2021

Coding for services in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) is different than coding for free-standing medical practices or health system clinics.

This webinar will describe what constitutes a visit, who may perform an FQHC visit, and what services may be provided.

How Medical Practice Services are Paid | Webinar

Recorded May 20, 2021

It is a broad overview aimed at describing “who makes up these rules” and where to look for definitive, citation-based answers.

HCC Coding for Medical Practices | Webinar

Recorded April 15, 2021

On-line Digital Services and Remote Monitoring | Webinar

Recorded February 27, 2020

New CPT ® codes for non-face-to-face services include both on-line digital evaluations and remote physiological monitoring.

Recorded April 25, 2019
