Billing for services involving NPPs presents specific challenges. This webinar will provide an in-depth review of Medicare’s current rules for services involving advanced practice providers (NPPs), focusing on the distinctions and documentation requirements for split/shared encounters and incident-to billing.
Navigating medical coding can be a challenge, especially when it comes to understanding when procedures and Evaluation & Management (E/M) services are separately billable. Three key concepts—separate procedures, global surgical packages, and E/M modifiers play a critical role in accurate and compliant billing. Let’s break them down. Separate Procedures: When to Bill and When to […]

The risk of additional diagnostic testing and management is distinct from the risk of the condition itself. Risk also includes the decision to forgo treatment, but what is the best way to document that?
Pam Warren, MHA, COC, CPC, Fellow We’ve all seen that two-page chart in the CPT® book that indicates the place of service code (POS) that is expected to be reported for physician services. But not every physician performs in office settings; not all physicians perform office visits, and some services can be billed by physicians when […]

When the method for selecting the level of E/M services was changed for 2021 (office visits) and 2023 (other visits), the concept of “risk” underwent significant revision. No longer was this concept confined to just one element/subcomponent of MDM.
Medical practices find the hospice modifiers confusing, and confusion leads to denials and payment delays. Use the decision trees below to help you determine if the service is separately billable once a patient has elected hospice and if so, how to bill it.

Coding for prolonged services requires practitioner education, careful documentation and coder oversight. These codes are the opposite of “set and forget.” CPT and CMS use different codes and have different time thresholds. For some services, CMS allows time spent on services done on a different date!
Coding for prolonged services was never easy, and CMS’s decision to use HCPCS codes and different time thresholds complicated coding. It is hardly realistic that a physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant can keep the rules and time thresholds clearly in their head, unless they are the rare practitioner who uses prolonged care frequently. For […]
