    Coding Billing Management

Overview:

As coders we strive to have a solid understanding of the “rules” handed down by the payers and government. But, they are not all the same. During this audio conference we will address what rules are needed for proper claim submission along with where to find those rules. We will discuss how the rules can vary for services and payers. We will also talk about issues as they relate to the global surgical package, what it includes and what we can code outside of the package. We will take a good look at different third party payer websites and gain an understanding in how to find the information we are seeking.

You Will Learn:

  • Understand the payer rules and where to find them
  • Understand global surgical package concepts
  • Understand how to maneuver the third party payer web sites
  • Understand what to keep track of with requirements and rules for your practice
