ASCs Coding and Billing for 2010
Overview:
Coding mistakes can cost your ASC facility thousands of dollars each year in lost reimbursement. These mistakes can also expose your facility to fines (and worse) if your facility is not in compliance with coding/billing regulations. Learning how to code and bill properly for the services your facility provides is the KEY to balancing on this difficult tightrope – by staying safe and being reimbursed fairly. This seminar will provide you with specific tips you can use for common procedures performed in ASCs which are frequently mis-coded, information on Medicare RAC Audits and how to respond to them, understanding Modifiers for ASCs, and many other reimbursement and compliance guidelines on ASC coding and billing issues.
You Will Learn:
- You will learn how to code and bill in a more compliance manner and not leave money on the table with new procedures Medicare has added for coverage in ASCs for 2010
- You will learn how to use modifiers for ASC billing correctly, which will help cut down on billing errors and help reduce denials
- You will learn the latest information on Fraud and Abuse Issues for ASCs, so you know what to watch for and can bill in a compliant manner
- You will learn how to code and bill correctly for common procedures performed in ASCs which are frequently miscoded
