SUMMARY

Getting a clean claim out the door is not an easy process for any type of practice. The coding rules are diverse, and it takes a village to keep up with an ever-changing landscape. In this workshop we will address many of the policies and rules that must be considered just to get an office encounter reported. In addition to evaluation and management services we will discuss modifiers, procedure documentation, split shared, incident-to, diagnosis coding and many other factors that must be reviewed for correctness before reporting any services.

We will take a broad stroke overview of what could take place during any office/clinic encounter and then consider what rules apply and what documentation would be required to satisfy an audit. Bring your questions, bring your knowledge to share and bring your desire to learn.

Learning Objectives/Agenda:

1. Review of AMA MDM requirements and time requirements and documentation requirements required for each

2. A review of split shared services and incident-to services and telehealth

3. Reminder of the importance of proper and complete diagnosis coding and a refresher of some often-missed guidelines

4. Proper documentation needed for ancillary services (labs, x-ray, injections, immunizations)

5. Documentation needed to support office-based procedures

6. Review of modifiers and documentation needed to support the use of modifiers

It takes a lot to keep up with so many rules/policies. Many services can be rendered during any office/clinic encounter. Each type of service requires specific documentation in order to properly report the service. Diagnosis coding may not be a direct link to an RVU; however, it is a direct link to reimbursement and the guidelines should be reviewed.
