Procedures codes allowing TC/PC?

Can someone please direct me to the links that lists the CPT codes and indicates wheather or not TC or PC can be billed with them. I am not sure of the proper name of this list. I can not find this information and have searched everywhere. I am looking specifically for Pathology and Lab CPT codes. :(
Thanks in advance!

Now, correct me if I'm wrong. You've paid to take the CPMA next week and you now want to know what the exam is like? I feel you may be a little unprepared but perhaps I'm wrong. I presume you've learned all the regulations regarding documentation requirements, know all about Stark Law, Rat-Stats, Incident to billing, different types of audit and how they are performed. If so, you should be fine. Take the audit tool of your choice and one you are familiar with because you'll use it a lot. Questions are not in sections, purely random throughout the exam.
Good luck.
 
Uremia with Hypertension Clarification

Hi All,

I have a doubt for reporting for the condition "Uremia with Hypertension"

As per Alphabetic Index Entry "Uremia >with >Hypertension (See also Hypertension, Kidney) 403.91"

When we check the code in Tabular List under fifth digit "1" explained as "with Chronic Kidney disease Stage V or end stage renal disease" and one "Use additional code" instruction to identify the stage of CKD as 585.5 or 585.6.

If there is no documentation of CKD or ESRD, how can we report uremia with hypertension as 403.91 solely?

Can anyone help me to clear this concern?

Thanks in advance

Don't forget the electronic

I found a couple of free apps on the Android Market that are also available for free on the Iphone -

E/M Basics - has all the E/M codes and the requirements for each, it also has a direct link to the CMS '95 & '97 Guidelines, the Medicare Audit Tool from TrailBlazer, as well as other documentation reference articles. My Hospitalist physicians love this app.

Also Find-A-Code for ICD-9CM/PCS and ICD-10 CM/PCS great reference tool on the fly when you don't have a book handy (much lighter too, not to mention the other cool McGyver-like tricks your Smartphone can perform).:D
