How to Effectively Use Non-Physician Practitioners in Cardiology
Presented by Kim Garner-Huey, CPC, CCS-P, CHCC
This conference originally aired on: 06/18/2009
ON-DEMAND WEBINAR

You can't afford not to use NPPs these days -- but you can't afford to incorrectly bill their services either.

It happens all the time in cardiology practices: doctors try to bill for the NPPs work when they shouldn't -- or "sign off" on the NPP's work as if he or she were a resident. On the other extreme, some cardiology practices see their NPPs as no more than glorified nurses -- which is a huge waste of resources. Bottom line, there's lot more potential for billing and compliance snafus regarding NPPs in cardiology, than, say, in family practice or internal medicine where the physician and the NPPs pretty much do the same things. Giving NPPs the autonomy they qualify for can expand your cardiology practice by leaps and bounds -- but you have to do it carefully.

Not sure where your practice stands? You'll learn how to follow Medicare guidelines AND optimize your reimbursement during this 1-hour audio learning session.

What you’ll learn:

  • Know your billing options -- from shared services to incident-to.
  • Real-life documentation examples of NPPs in cardiology: See where they fall short.
  • Common mistakes cardiology practices make when billing for NPP services.
  • Finally made sense of the Medicare regs? Here's when to apply them to private payers.
  • Confusion clarified: the difference between office services and inpatient services.
  • Do you really want to use that person as a scribe? Discover the risk you take letting an NPP do the work.
  • And much more!

Who should attend? Physicians, non-physician practitioners, coders, billers, managers, and administrators in cardiology settings.
