Coding and MORE! (1 CEU)


Total Credits: 1


Dates


Description

Have you been just kind of getting by with your CPT coding? Do you understand enough to get some of your claims reimbursed, but have that nagging feeling that there’s in-depth knowledge you’re missing? Do you worry that you’re too habitual in your coding, or picking codes out of thin air that seem right? Many providers down-code in order to avoid a slap on the wrist from insurance companies. But when you learn to code like a chiropractic rock star, you fully understand not only the claims you are sending in but the reason behind the codes and how they relate to patient treatment services. 

Watch and discover how codes are defined, what percentage of each CMT code insurers expect, and how those elusive timed coding rules apply toward being properly reimbursed for services rendered. Learn how down-coding really raises red flags more often than it protects you. You could be needlessly losing hundreds or thousands of dollars if you are using codes in a habitual or clumsy way.  And when they do deny a claim, let’s be sure you have the tools and language to fight the denial.

 

Webinar will review:

  • The definitions and requirements for commonly used codes in chiropractic
  • How-to on locating payers’ coding and billing requirements, so you get it right the first time
  • Strategies to find and use appropriate codes for services rendered
  • A complete understanding of timed codes and their requirements
  • An understanding of the descriptive differences between 97140 and 97124 from treatment plan to documentation to coding
  • Being clear on procedures that qualify as 97110 and timed coding components of 97110
  • Possessing the confidence and understanding the logic behind the codes you use boosts reimbursement and brings you complete billing clarity—crucial should you receive a records request!
