Misinterpret these rules – or overlook CPT rules – and you could be facing paybacks.
If you accidentally apply CMS consult guidelines across the board, your over-restrictive requirements could cost your group money. The solution: Join coding expert Jennifer Godreau for this 1-hour audio video conference, and learn how to cut through the bureaucracy -- and get the scoop on 3, 4, or 5 consult R’s. Learn who counts as an appropriate source, what to ask to determine if a transfer of care has been achieved, how not to get stuck with footing a pre-op consult bill, and more…
Here's what you will learn:
- A 2-prong test that will make transfer of care black and white.
- Get confident with IDing consult qualifiers, Jennifer will walk you through scenarios.
- The lowdown on non-physicians providing consults -- and the pitfall you may not see coming.
- Surprise: Medicare pre-op consult coverage is possible -- here’s what most coders miss.
- Can a physician who has more expertise in an area provide a consult to her same “specialty” partner? Get the answer here.
Have additional questions? You have the floor with the speaker during an interactive Q&A.
Who should attend? Educators, compliance directors, coders, physicians, and billers tired of tackling varying advice on reporting consultations, rather than office or inpatient E/M services.
Your registration includes:
- Flexible enrollment. Scheduling conflict? No problem. This session is also available on CD.
- Expert answers to your tough questions during the interactive Q&A period.
- Complimentary attendee package, including the speaker's complete presentation handouts. Keep this quick reference tool close by for future use.
- One low price for all the staff you can stuff into a conference room.
